Clare’s senior footballers are searching for their third manager in as many seasons after Mark Fitzgerald left to join Tomás Ó Sé’s Kerry U20 set-up.

Fitzgerald succeeded long-time boss Colm Collins for the 2024 season. After a harsh call against Westmeath denied them promotion back to Division 2, he led them to the county’s second successive Munster SFC final where Kerry again prevailed.
