Former Kerry and Cork coach to link up with 2014 Munster senior club champions

Pat Flanagan is getting involved with the Tralee-based club.

FORMER KERRY AND Cork coach Pat Flanagan is to take up a new role with 2014 Munster senior club champions Austin Stacks.

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.

    @Sèan: I might be older than you Sean, but in my day journalists actually took pride in their work and editors never let anything slip through the cracks.
    Probably ok for you though as judging by your grammar you’re as bad as the 42.
