PÁDRAIC MAHER IS set to become Thurles Sarsfields’ new senior hurling manager next season.
The Tipperary Star reports that the six-time All Star will combine his first foray into club management with his role as selector in Liam Cahill’s inter-county setup.
Maher, who won three All-Irelands and five Munster titles with Tipp, retired in February at the age of 32 following medical advice on a neck injury.
New Tipp boss Cahill moved to bring him on board as a selector immediately following his appointment in July.
Now Maher, who has previously been involved in Sars’ management teams, will lead his club as they bid to end a six-year drought at county level in 2023.
Maher will be joined by Paddy McCormack, Michael Gleeson and Brian Stakelum in his backroom team, The Tipperary Star reports.
