Ballingarry clubman Cahill will now take the helm at minor level while Connolly from Cashel King Cormacs takes the reins of the U21′s after being a selector with Hogan in recent years in that side.
There is speculation that Hogan could now be in line for a return to senior management as the Lorrha-Dorrha clubman has been linked with the vacant Limerick and Offaly jobs in recent weeks following the departure of John Allen and Ollie Baker.
Hogan, who managed Tipp’s seniors from 2003 to 2005, took over as U21 boss in 2009 and led the side to Munster and All-Ireland titles in the first of his four seasons.
Maher had been minor manager for the past two seasons and won Munster and All-Ireland titles in 2012.
The Tipperary county board had confirmed that the minor backroom team of Brian Horgan, Martin Maher and Noel Morris had also stepped down.
