Cork seek new leader as Brian Cuthbert to step down

Cork football manager Brian Cuthbert will not seek re-appointment for a third year at the helm following last weekend’s championship exit at the hands of Kildare.

The Bishopstown clubman saw his side go down by nine points in Thurles last Saturday night to the Leinster side, just a week after losing to Kerry in the replayed Munster football final.

The unexpected championship exit followed a disappointing NFL final defeat at the hands of Dublin, Cork’s second comprehensive loss to the Dubs in two seasons.
