Time for ‘new voice’ as Mickey Ned exits top Limerick job
O’Sullivan informed Limerick county board officials yesterday evening that he and his coaching sidekick Donie Buckley were set to end their spell in charge, and then contacted Limerick players individually by phone to inform them of his decision. Limerick failed to land a coveted Munster senior football crown during O’Sullivan’s spell in charge, being defeated in the last two deciders by Cork and Kerry, but O’Sullivan still described working with the current Limerick squad, ‘as the most positive experience’ he has had in Gaelic football.
“After five years the time is right for a new voice. Myself and the management have been considering this for the past few weeks. I was on holidays and we met yesterday after I came back, before informing the county board. I then spoke to the players individually on the phone, and the few that I didn’t get through to, I will be talking to them today. They were disappointed to hear that we were moving on, as were the board officials.
