John Fogarty in the Irish Examiner is reporting (here) that Andy Moran’s All-Ireland-winning management team will be back in harness with him in 2027.
Colm Boyle, Keith Higgins and Paddy Tally were the key members of Mayo’s backroom team with Andy this year as the county claimed All-Ireland success for the first time since 1951. All three will be back on board with the manager next year as the county bids to complete back-to-back Sam Maguire victories.
Separately, the Mayo News is reporting (here) that goalkeeping coach Paul Durcan and head of athletic performance Conor Finn will also be back as part of Mayo’s backroom team in 2027.
That Irish Examiner piece linked above also confirms that the nominees for this year’s football All-Stars will be announced next Tuesday. Following their All-Ireland success in July, Mayo are expected to feature very strongly in this year’s list of nominees.

Only fair they get another go.
Great to see everyone back in as part of that. Already looking forward to League to see what's new as well.

Good news.
Nobody prepared to rest on laurels

They deserve another year. We can't pass judgement on them after just one!
In seriousness, I'm delighted to see them all back and I don't think Tally is sticking around because he thought we'd be "one and done".
There's more in us.

What worked last year won’t work next year. Evolution is key. There’s a big target on our back now. I don’t believe you defend your title…:you attack it!
For now we celebrate but no doubt management have already begun turning attention to prep for the winter and next season.
This All Ireland win must be used as a springboard for further success.
