McCabe appointed Cavan boss and Moran to take over at Mayo
McCabe, who won an Ulster Senior Football title and an All-Star as a Cavan player in 1997, leaves his role as Westmeath manager to take up the position with his native county.
He was previously part of the Cavan minor management and the senior backroom staff when the Breffni County won the Ulster Championship in 2020.
The Gowna club man succeeds Raymond Galligan, who stepped down in July after two years at the helm following Cavan's All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final exit to Kerry.
Mayo have announced that they are seeking the ratification of Moran to take over at the next meeting of the county's board.
Former Derry boss Paddy Tally and ex-Mayo player Colm Boyle are set to form part of Moran's management ticket.
The 41-year-old enjoyed a decorated inter-county career as a player with Mayo, winning eight Connacht titles, two All-Stars and being crowned Footballer of the Year in 2017.
Since retirement, Moran has had a spell as Leitrim boss, guiding the county to promotion from Division Four in 2023 and also held a coaching role with Monaghan under Gabriel Bannigan as the Farney men reached the quarter-finals of the All-Ireland this year.
Moran will take over from Kevin McStay, whose three-year reign as boss ended after Mayo exited the All-Ireland at the group stage.
