Ryan’s Déise ambition

Former Waterford hurling manager Michael Ryan confirmed last night that he is still interested in managing the county.

Speaking on RTÉ’s Championship Matters, Ryan said: “Of course I want this job. I think I have something to offer. I have maybe a different style to other people — I believe in assembling a good backroom team and delegating. Every facet of our backroom team was outstanding and I think I have a lot to offer. Going forward I hope to be involved in Waterford hurling in the future.

“We’ll have a serious look at it and see what happens.”
