Horan stepped down as Mayo manager in 2014 after guiding them to two All-Ireland finals and two semi-finals in his time and dragging them to such a level that they haven't fallen out of the top bracket since.
But he will still, of course, have to interview for the job and he will still have to forge a relationship with the Mayo county board before he takes the job for a second time.
In an official statement, May revealed that Solan is no longer in the running and that they will now speak with Horan.
'Mayo GAA have been informed by Mike Solan that he is withdrawing his name from the role as Mayo Senior football team manager. 'We would like to thank Mike for putting his name forward for the role & look forward to seeing him involved with Mayo GAA in the future. 'The officers of Mayo GAA will now meet with James Horan to discuss his management team & plans for 2019.'In his own statement, Solan confirmed that he would be stepping aside but he didn't give any reason as to why just yet.
"Today, I have informed the Mayo County Board that I am withdrawing my name from the nomination process for the Mayo Senior Football Team Manager," he said. "I would like to thank everyone who helped me in this process and I would like to wish the Mayo Senior team every success in 2019 and beyond."
