He also managed his native Kildare and worked with Tipperary hurlers under Liam Sheedy.
Galway were beaten by Mayo in their last two Connacht finals, while they suffered relegation from the top flight of the league last season.
Meanwhile, Cork camogie have announced that a selection panel has been formed to appoint a replacement for Paudie Murray.
It will feature ex-players Rena Buckley, Marian McCarthy and Linda Mellerick, former Limerick hurler Damien Quigley and Cork coach Ger Cunningham.
“It’s a daunting challenge to follow in the footsteps of Paudie Murray and his team,” Cork camogie chairperson Mairead Donovan said.
“As Cork is a premier county where camogie is concerned, it is our duty to ensure those taking over the team build on the foundations that currently exist and bring us to the next level. As a county our players, clubs and county expect and deserve nothing less.
“We, as a board, are excited to enter the next phase and we have no doubt, given the calibre of the panel, that the right person and team will lead Cork for the season ahead.”
