Jim McGuinness (/ˈɡɪnᵻs/ GIN-is; born 16 November 1972) is an All-Ireland winning former Gaelic footballer and manager, who oversaw the Donegal senior team until October 2014.
McGuinness's achievements are universally recognised, earning the admiration of sportsmen in both his own and other disciplines, including 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 one of few inter-county managers to have been offered a role at a professional sports team outside Ireland. McGuinness's services were also thought to have been sought by Premier League soccer teams.
Having guided Donegal to the final of the 2010 All-Ireland Under 21 Football Championship, McGuinness was appointed senior manager later that year. His time at the helm has been a soaring success; he has overseen a Donegal team that has won three Ulster Senior Football Championship titles in four seasons and led them to the 2012 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship. The 2012 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final was the county's first appearance on football's ultimate stage since 1992. Donegal's victory that year was only the county's second All-Ireland senior title in more than 120 years.
