CIAN O’NEILL IS set to return as head coach for the Kerry senior footballers in 2025.
O’Neill, who previously worked with the Kingdom under Eamonn Fitzmaurice, is to fill the role of head coach-selector, as Jack O’Connor’s management team for next year has been shaken up.
O’Neill coached the Galway team that contested this year’s All-Ireland final, while he has previously been involved with the Tipperary hurlers, Mayo and Cork football sides, and managed his native Kildare.
Paddy Tally is to remain on board as performance coach for Kerry, while there are new selectors in former Kerry forward Aodán MacGearailt and James Costello, a recent Kerry minor manager.
