Cork have appointed former player and selector, Ronan McCarthy, as senior football coach on a three-year term.

The Douglas-man takes over from Peadar Healy, who was manager of the county side for the past two seasons.

McCarthy won two Munster championship medals and a league medal in addition to playing at corner-back in the 1999 All-Ireland final defeat by Meath. He was a member of the 1991 All-Ireland winning minor panel.

McCarthy was a selector with Conor Counihan in 2013 and again under Brian Cuthbert's stewardship in the following two years.

He is expected to name his management team in the coming days.
