Galway manager’s job up for grabs

A major doubt has emerged about Anthony Cunningham continuing as Galway hurling manager, with clubs in the county seeking nominations for the position.

Cunningham’s three-year term as manager ended with the All-Ireland qualifier defeat by Tipperary, but, while he has indicated a desire to continue, Galway clubs have decided to open up the position to nominees.

Delegates have decided to seek nominations for the job by August 5 with interviews for the position to take place before a decision is reached by the county committee. The manager will be appointed for a two-year term and it is expected that he will be in place by the end of August or into September.
