Ó Sé will fill the vacancy created by the departure of his former Kerry senior team-mate Declan O’Sullivan, who stepped down due to work commitments in July.
This season has seen Ó Sé involved in senior inter-county football as coach to the Offaly footballers, working alongside manager John Maughan.
It then seemed as if Ó Sé was set to replace Maughan in the Faithful hotseat with Offaly chairman Michael Duignan declaring the An Ghaeltacht native was interested in taking the position, but a change in work circumstances caused him to withdraw.
Aside from his Offaly role, Ó Sé has had coaching experience with UCC Sigerson Cup teams and Cork club side Glanmire.

The Kingdom legend enjoyed a glittering playing career with his county. He won five All-Ireland senior football medals (2000, 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2009), while he also claimed five All-Star awards and was Footballer of the Year in 2004.
At club level he starred for his native An Ghaeltacht and later the Cork side Nemo Rangers, notably winning county and Munster senior titles with both clubs.
