Jim McGuinness has been lined up as part of a prospective coaching ticket with Down.
The All Ireland-winning manager with Donegal will be a coach under Conor Laverty, who is the frontrunner to replace Paddy Tally.
Laverty has been in charge of Down’s under-20’s, and will take fellow coach Marty Clarke into the senior set-up as well.
