Brian Lohan has received a third extension as Clare senior hurling manager, which will bring him up to 2028.

Revealed by Clare FM, the new three-year agreement was endorsed by delegates at Tuesday’s county board meeting. The Irish Examiner understands it was proposed by chairman Kieran Keating and seconded by Central Council delegate Robert Frost.

The 2024 All-Ireland SHC winning manager has been in charge of Clare since the 2019 season. He received his first three-year extension in 2022 after serving two seasons and a one-year understanding for this season was agreed following last year’s All-Ireland final victory over Cork.

Lohan’s management team will be confirmed in the coming weeks. The outgoing group comprised long-time selector Ken Ralph, and 2013 All-Ireland winning defender Brendan Bugler and Tommy Corbett who joined from last year.

Former Tipperary and Galway strength and conditioning coach Lukasz Kirszenstein has also been with Clare since September 2023.
