MICHAEL RYAN IS back in management after being appointed as boss of Limerick champions Na Piarsaigh last night.
Ryan led Tipperary to All-Ireland glory in 2016 and stepped down as manager of his native county last August.
The Limerick Leader reports that the Drombane-Upperchurch native will take charge of the 2016 All-Ireland club champions, who were defeated by Ballygunner in the Munster final last November.
Ryan’s backroom team will include ex-Galway hurler Nigel Shaughnessy and Na Piarsaigh clubman PJ Breen.
He replaces Paul Beary, who led Na Piaraigh to the county title in his sole season in charge.
