“Justin will work with the county board and players’ leadership group to finalise the coaching team over the coming weeks,” they said.
The Armagh All-Ireland winner previously took charge of Laois for three seasons from late 2010 to 2013 in what was his first inter-county management job.
Under his stewardship, Laois were promoted to Division 1 of the National Football League in 2011 — though they were relegated again the next season — and reached the All-Ireland quarter-finals in 2012.
His appointment is expected to be ratified at a meeting of the Laois county board next week.
McNulty, who succeeds Billy Sheehan as manager, is also currently an MLA in the Northern Ireland Assembly.
