Waterford senior football manager Ephie Fitzgerald is stepping down after informing the county board that he will not be taking up the option of a third year in charge.

The Cork native took over the role in 2021 from fellow Corkman Shane Ronayne and his side rattled Tipperary in the Munster SFC this year before losing narrowly.
