The St Mary’s, Caherciveen All-Ireland winner in 1997 and 2000 is favoured to replace Diarmuid Murphy, who has stepped down, as a selector in 2017, with Stephen Stack and Noel Kennelly also mentioned as possible candidates.

Fitzgerald (47) successfully managed his club St Mary’s to a Kerry Intermediate Championship title last year and followed that up with the All-Ireland club title last February in Croke Park against Mayo champions Hollymount-Carramore. A year ago he was still lining out for the club in the County League at 46.
