Former Kerry manager Peter Keane is set to take charge of the Clare senior footballers.

The St Mary’s Cahirciveen man has been recommended by the county’s selection committee to succeed fellow Kerry native Mark Fitzgerald, who stepped down after one season at the helm.

Keane could face his former charges in a Munster final next May should both The Banner and The Kingdom win their respective semi-finals.

A statement from Clare GAA on Sunday night read: “The Clare Senior Football Manager nomination committee have informed Clare County Board that after completing their interview process, Peter Keane (Kerry) is their recommendation to be put forward for ratification as Clare Senior Football Manager, at the upcoming November County Committee meeting.

“The nomination committee wish to thank all candidates who expressed interest in the role and engaged in the process with them.”
