The new Monaghan assistant football manager Paul Grimley, is set to re-enter the race for the Armagh manager's job.
It's understood that Grimley has come under pressure in recent days to allow his name to go forward for the Orchard County vacancy, but Monaghan boss Seamus McEnaney insists that he is fully committed to Monaghan.
Grimley applied for the Armagh job two years ago after Joe Kernan's exit, but was overlooked in favour of Peter McDonnell.
After McDonnell stepped down in July, Grimley asked for a five-year term with a review after three years and made other demands, which the board were unwilling to meet.
