For the third time in 18 years, Jack O’Connor will take charge of Kerry’s senior footballers.

After being recommended by the county's management committee, the 2022 season is set to be the three-time All-Ireland SFC winning manager’s eighth guiding the county’s leading team. His first stint between 2004 and ’06 furnished two Sam Maguire Cups and his second term between 2009 and ‘12 saw him collect the top honour again in his first season in charge.
