Former Clare hurling captain Anthony Daly is expected to be named as the county's new hurling manager after a spokesman for the county board confirmed Daly's name had been submitted.
Daly, who captained the Banner to All-Ireland success in 1995 and 1997, confirmed he had been approached by the Clare county board with a view to offering him a job.
"My position is that I was approached by a few people about the position. My main passion in life is hurling and obviously I would have an interest in Clare hurling," said Daly.
Fr Mike McNamara, Clare county chairman, indicated that the appointment of Cyril Lyons's successor would take place soon.
"We'll be hoping to meet with the clubs on Tuesday night and decide where to go from there," he said. "It will be a selection process, meeting the different people that are involved and coming up with somebody, hopefully, who is willing and able to take the job."
Daly helped his club Clarecastle to the Clare County hurling title yesterday when they defeated Ballyea.
