Finding new Kerry boss may take ‘months’

The process to find Éamonn Fitzmaurice’s successor as Kerry senior football manager could take up to two months from the time the selection committee is established later this week.

It’s widely agreed that the new man in will have a far greater inheritance than Fitzmaurice did when he took over from Jack O’Connor in August 2012 and officials are keen for a smooth transition in what is a massive strategic decision for Kerry football.
