A replacement for Jimmy Lee appears to have been found following a recommendation by the Limerick Senior Football Manager Appointments Committee
THE SEARCH for a new Limerick senior football manager appears to be over after Mungret St Pauls’ Micheál Cahill was nominated for the position.
Jimmy Lee ruled himself out of the running a recently and threw his weight behind Cahill to replace him.
The Limerick Senior Football Manager Appointments Committee have proposed Cahill on a two-year-term with an option for a third.
Cahill’s recommendation will go forward to the full Limerick County Board meeting next month for ratification.
The Mungret man was Lee’s senior coach during his two-year tenure as Limerick manager and has a good reputation among the county’s existing players. His management team will be confirmed at a later date.
Cahill spent time as Clare’s Strength and Conditioning Coach under Colm Collins before returning to his native county to take up the role with the senior football team.
He also spent a number of years in the US involved with teams such as famed baseball team the LA Dodgers and soccer sides Houston Dynamos and Dallas United.
The statement in full from Limerick GAA reads as follows: “Following a recommendation from the Limerick Senior Football Manager Appointments Committee the executive committee of Limerick County Board are proposing Micheál Cahill as Limerick Senior Football manager for 2027.
