Jack O’Connor tipped for Kildare hot-seat

Jack O’Connor is the front-runner to replace Cian O’Neill as Kildare senior football manager.

The three-time All-Ireland SFC-winning boss, currently in charge of the Kerry U20s, is understood to be interested in taking over the Lilywhites. O’Connor has a link to the county through his sons Cian and Éanna, who play for Moorefield, Éanna having featured in a number of games for the county last year.
