Éamonn Fitzmaurice will not be a contender to return as Kerry football manager next season, leaving County Board chiefs with three main options to take charge of the team in 2022.

The Kingdom’s last All-Ireland winning manager in 2014 is favoured by leading Board officials to take up the reins again having stepped away in 2018, but Fitzmaurice has indicated this week that he is not in the reckoning if the Board decides against extending Peter Keane’s term into a fourth season.
