MARC Ó Sé is set to be named the new Kerry minor football manager next week doubling up the family's involvement at inter-county under age with brother Tomás to remain as Kerry U20 manager in 2026.

The appointments will bring to a close a fevered spell of behind-the-scenes activity at executive level with a number of high profile GAA figures in the county expressing an interest in a role at inter-county level. This could also be seen as limbering up for the starting gun to be the next Kerry senior manager once Jack O'Connor finishes his third term next year or in 2027.
