Former Naas and Thomas Davis manager Paul Kelly is set to be confirmed as the new Tipperary senior football manager.

The position has been vacant since David Power’s resignation last June and Kelly, who was a selector with Oisin McConville’s Wicklow in 2023, is now the leading candidate with a backroom team nearly finalised.
