MEATH NATIVE PAUL Shankey is set to be named as the new Waterford senior football manager.
Shankey — who was part of the Royals’ 1999 All-Ireland winning panel — will be proposed for ratification on a two-year term to succeed Ephie Fitzgerald, the Déise confirmed on Wednesday evening.
He will be joined on his management team by Mikey Cronin as coach/selector, while Cronin will also take charge of the county’s U20 footballers.
“The additional management and backroom personnel for both teams will be advised at a later date,” Waterford said.
“Waterford GAA wish Paul and Mikey every success.”
