The Ballaghaderreen man is an All-Ireland under-21 winning manager with his native Mayo in 2016.
He was Andy Moran’s right-hand man with the Leitrim senior football team in Moran’s first year in charge.
After leading Mayo to that All-Ireland under-21 title, he was in contention for the Mayo senior job when James Horan called time on his second tenure in charge of the team.
Currently in charge of Toulestrane senior footballers, Solan is a highly rated manager and has been handed a three-year term with Longford.
He replaces Paddy Christie who recently stepped aside in the midlands county.
