THE KERRY HURLERS now have a new manager after Fintan O’Connor was appointed earlier today.
O’Connor, who previously worked under Derek McGrath as part of the Waterford hurling management team, succeeds Ciarán Carey on an initial two-year deal with the option of a third year.
Carey stepped down from his position earlier this month, citing “increased work commitments” as his reason for the decision. After taking over the role in October of 2015, Carey guided Kerry to victory over Carlow in the Leinster SHC, and helped them retain their position in Division 1B of the National League.
O’Connor also served on the management team at Waterford Institute of Technology for the past three years in which they reached three Fitzgibbon Cup Finals and won it in 2014.
He well announce his management and backroom teams at a later date.
