Stephen Rochford has no regrets over his decision to join the Donegal backroom team as a coach.

The ex-Mayo manager was brought on board by Declan Bonner for this year and it’s very much a case of so far, so good from his point of view.

“The position as a coach, it doesn't have the intensity of the ask as a manager, when you're dealing with media, the county board, medical teams and players,” he remarked to Sky Sports at the launch of the AIB club finals.  

“It's very distinct and you know very much what the expectations of your role is as the coach. In that, I was very happy to make that.

“Declan presented a very attractive picture and obviously the vision for his team and the potential that he'd seen close-up. He would have known a lot of these players since minor and U21.

“When it's a team with the quality and potential that Donegal have, that makes that decision a lot clearer.

“I'm really enjoying working with a really energised, ambitious, playing group with a lot of potential there along with a very seasoned and experienced management team.”
