TJ Ryan looks set to step down as Limerick boss

TJ Ryan is expected to confirm his departure as Limerick senior hurling manager this week.

The former Shannonside playing hero stopped short of walking away on Saturday night but dropped a massive hint that his time in charge is over, following defeat to Clare.

Ryan took over as joint-manager in 2013 alongside Donal O’Grady but assumed sole control in 2014 following O’Grady’s resignation. Ryan guided Limerick to an All-Ireland semi-final appearance against Kilkenny two years ago and after going close to achieving victory, was rewarded with a new three-year deal.
