Jimmy Mc Guinness

Jim McGuinness ( /ˈɡɪnɨs/ GIN-is; born 12 November 1972) is a former Gaelic footballer and current manager of All-Ireland winners Donegal. Credited with devising "The System"—a style of play which has annihilated rival teams—, McGuinness's achievements are recognised the world over, earning the admiration of, among others, the golfer Paul McGinley and the soccer manager Neil Lennon. In addition, having been invited to assist the Celtic soccer team in Scotland, he is the first Gaelic football inter-county manager to have been offered a role at a professional sports team abroad. His services have also been sought by Premier League soccer teams.

After guiding the Donegal U-21 football team to the 2010 All-Ireland U-21 Football Championship Final, McGuinness was appointed manager of the Donegal senior football team. His time at the helm has been a soaring success; he has overseen a Donegal team that has won two Ulster Senior Football Championship titles in two seasons and guided them to win the 2012 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, the county's first appearance on Gaelic football's ultimate stage since 1992. Donegal's victory in 2012 under McGuinness's management is only Donegal's second All-Ireland Senior Football Championship win in more than 120 years.
