Cork’s waiting game on manager for next season

CORK officials will “let things cool down” in the aftermath of Sunday’s All-Ireland final defeat before deciding who will manage the senior footballers next season.

Initially appointed for a two-year term that started with the 2004 season, Billy Morgan received another year at the helm which expired last weekend.

Despite the disappointment of the loss to Kerry, Morgan has overseen a major improvement in the county’s fortunes during his second stint in charge, claiming a first Munster title since 2002 and taking the side to three All-Ireland semi-finals and one decider.
