Davy Fitzgerald - 'I'll decide in the next day or two'

Davy Fitzgerald has broken his silence on his future - saying he will make a decision in the next 48 hours.

“Listen, I’ve to decide whether I am staying in Wexford or not. That’s the most-important question. I’ve to get my own mind sorted and I’ll be doing that very soon,” he told Midwest Radio.

When pressed on how long that timeframe would be he added, “Very soon would be in the next day or two.”

Tough call

He outlined the struggle he’s had deciding where his future lies:

“Listen, my heart is torn-unreal there for the last number of weeks. I think people appreciate it’s a massive-long drive down to Wexford.

“For me it’s probably two and a half to three hours down and the same back. That’s three or four nights a week.”

He explained that despite the time commitment he is reluctant to walk away from the county:

“I’ve a very special bunch of boys down there so, that’s what’s taking me so long."

Commenting on reports linking him with the vacant Galway job he said:

“The one thing I will say to you is, I haven’t talked to one person from Galway.”

“There you go, you’ve got some scoop…” he concluded.
