Jack O’Connor reappointed as Kerry manager for another two years

Kingdom boss originally agreed a two-year term when he took over from Peter Keane in 2021

Jack O’Connor will remain as Kerry senior football manager for the next two years, after he was reappointed to the position at a county board meeting on Tuesday night.

O’Connor’s third coming as Kingdom boss was initially for a two-year term, when he replaced Peter Keane in October 2021.

However, he will stay at the helm for at least another two seasons after Kerry officials backed him to do so at Tuesday night’s meeting.

O’Connor led Kerry to All-Ireland glory in 2022 but they came up short of retaining the Sam Maguire this season, losing the final to Dublin.
