CORK GAA TONIGHT confirmed that Peader Healy has been appointed as the new senior football manager.
The Naomh Abán clubman served as a selector with the footballers between 2008 and 2013 and was a coach when they beat Down in the 2010 All-Ireland final.
Having previously worked with both O’Donovan Rossa and Dr Crokes, Healy won a All-Ireland minor football title with Cork in 1981.
Commenting on the appointment, county board chairman Gerard Lane said:
“On behalf of the County Board, I would like to wish Peader all the best in his new position.
I would also like to thank all the candidates who expressed an interest in the position, and also the members of the appointments committee for their endeavours.”
The Glengarriff-based garda has been appointed on a two-year term.
