Eamon Fitzmaurice is named as new Kerry football manager

Eamon Fitzmaurice has been appointed as the new Kerry senior football manager on a three-year deal.

The three-times All-Ireland winner replaces Jack O'Connor, who resigned after the All-Ireland quarter-final defeat by Donegal earlier this month.

Fitzmaurice was the Kingdom U21 boss and joined the senior backroom team this summer.

Darragh O Se, who won six All-Ireland titles with Kerry, takes over from Fitzmaurice as U21 boss.
