Tipp backroom recruit McGeeney ‘proven winner’

Tipperary manager Eamon O’Shea sees the recruitment of “proven winner” Kieran McGeeney as a mutually beneficial agreement for the players and former Kildare manager.

McGeeney’s main priorities will be with Armagh, where he is one of Paul Grimley’s selectors, and he will visit the Tipperary camp on an irregular basis.

However, O’Shea is delighted to have him on board in an advisory capacity. “He’s coming this season to work for us in the whole broad area of performance and performance improvement He’s a proven winner, I’ve had great admiration for him for a long time and he has some time available this season even though he has a busy schedule with Armagh.
