more than likely the next manager of galway utd.
Mannion's first spell as manager began in 1985 and ended three years later; in 1991 he took over again, before leaving in somewhat controversial circumstances on New Year's Day in 1996 as Galway plunged to relegation later that season.
Mannion has the honour of being United's most successful manager of all time. He took charge of a Galway team 250 times, and he secured the club's highest League finish ever - 2nd - in 1986. In 1994, he guided his charges to 3rd place, and United have never done as well since.
Whether or not he will accept the offer is hard to tell, but the feeling around Galway is that he will. Despite being currently involved with local side Salthill Devon, Mannion is expected to find the offer of accepting the high-profile position too big to resist.
