DJ Carey dismisses reports linking him with Waterford job

The Kilkenny legend says it’s ‘news to him’ that he is in the running to be the Deise boss.

KILKENNY HURLING LEGEND DJ Carey has dismissed reports linking him with the vacant Waterford senior hurling manager position.

Carey informed local Kilkenny radio station, KCLR96FM, today that it was ‘news to him’ that his name was set to be put forward as a nomination for the role despite being mentioned in a report this morning in the Irish Examiner.

Waterford clubs have until midnight tonight to nominate candidates to be the next manager but they have to ascertain beforehand whether those candidates are willing to go forward for the position.

It was announced last week that former Waterford hurlers Stephen Frampton and James Murray would help select the next manager. Frampton and Murray agreed to be on a six-man committee that will choose the new boss.

They will join four members of the Waterford county board executive on the appointments group.

It was announced last month that Michael Ryan was not going forward for the 2014 campaign having been in charge of Waterford for the last two years.

It subsequently emerged that decision came after a players meeting where a change in manager was sought.

But Ryan did tell RTE’s programme ‘Championship Matters’ programme that he would keep an open mind about allowing his name to go forward again for the job.
