Radio Kerry Sport reports that Flanagan has been drafted into the Tralee club’s coaching setup in a high-profile move by manager Stephen Stack.
Former Kerry All-Ireland winner Stack guided Austin Stacks to Kerry and Munster club glory in 2014 before they exited the All-Ireland championship at the semi-final stage last February against Derry’s Slaughtneil.

Austin Stacks bowed out in the third round of last year’s Kerry county championship but with Stack staying on board, the acquisition of Flanagan represents a major coup.
Having helped Kerry win All-Ireland titles when Jack O’Connor was in charge, Flanagan was involved with the Cork senior footballers under Brian Cuthbert in 2014 and 2015.
Kieran Donaghy will be the club’s team captain this year while ex-Limerick selector Billy Lee also joins the Austin Stacks management team.
