PETER QUEALLY IS set to become the new Waterford hurling manager, succeeding Davy Fitzgerald at the helm.
Waterford GAA tonight announced that Queally — and a management team including Dan Shanahan and Eoin Kelly — will be recommended on a two-year term at the next county board meeting.
Queally was Fitzgerald’s selector recently, and is now poised to take charge of his native county and former side.
Former Waterford and Tipperary stars Shanahan and Kelly will act as selectors/coaches, with Ballygunner’s Shane O’Sullivan the performance coach and John Matthews heading up strength and conditioning.
“Waterford GAA extends its best wishes to Peter and his management team,” a short Waterford GAA press release concludes.

At last, someone that understands Waterford hurling – and who will care more for The Déise than his reputation.
Or the “my way or the highway” mindset.
The Ger Loughnane ‘big tough f**kers’ style didn’t fit with Galway, and it was never going to fit in Waterford.
@James O’Brien: when did Mr Loughnane manage Waterford?
@WqM9AAv3: his protege Davy Fitz did. Twice. When I spoke with him during the recent spell, he said he was going to ‘change how they played’.
Hon the Dessies, May the famine extend another year to 66 years
What a brains trust.
Obviously The 42′s censor is from Clare….
