Former Donegal All-Ireland winning manager Jim McGuinness is to release one of the most eagerly-awaited sports books of 2015.

Jim McGuinness is to reveal all in a new book.

Jim McGuinness is to reveal all in a new book.

The book entitled 'Until Victory Always' will be published on Amazon.co.uk on October 23 this year, just over a year since making the decision to step down as Donegal manager.

The book, set to be a best-seller, looks set to lift the lift on one of the great sporting stories in Irish sporting history.

It is not known if McGuinness will tackle the controversial dropping of Kevin Cassidy or the inner secrets of the Donegal camp.

But the book looks set to be a huge money-spinner for the Glenties man and will literally walk off the shelves.

The synopsis of the book reads: "When Jim McGuinness took over as manager of the Donegal senior football team in the autumn of 2010, they'd been dismissed as a joke; a bunch of dilettantes too fond of the night life. When he stepped down four years later, they had won three Ulster championships, the 2012 All-Ireland title and contested the 2014 All-Ireland final against Kerry.

"This is the story of how he combined a unique vision and ferocious drive to create a powerful and disciplined team that bucked history and defied every expectation.
"McGuinness sent a shockwave through Gaelic games by devising an approach which polarised opinion and forced fans, players and managers alike to look at the game differently. From the outside, what Donegal were doing appeared mysterious, dark and fearsome.

"Here, and for the first time, McGuinness reveals what life was like inside the Donegal camp and reflects on the decisions and experiences that propelled his players to the summit of the sport.

"A moving and honest meditation on the nature of sportsmanship, dedication and what it means to lead, Until Victory Always is an honest and inspiring account of achievement in the face of incredible adversity."

McGuinness continued in his role as an adviser at Glasgow Celtic since his departure from Donegal and the Glenties man has also taken up a role as a GAA pundit with Sky Sports this year.
