Eoin Murphy welcomes Brian Cody reappointment: 'We can have no complaints'

Murphy welcomed the decision to retain Cody, who last guided the county to All-Ireland success in 2015, and he maintained that the 67-year-old’s message remains as fresh and relevant as ever

Watching Tyrone win the All-Ireland immediately after Mickey Harte’s exit, the Kilkenny hurlers could be forgiven for wondering how a similar change might pan out for them.

Brian Cody was reappointed for a 24th consecutive season as their manager on Monday night, six more than the 18 Harte managed with Tyrone before being replaced by the successful Brian Dooher-Feargal Logan combination.
