Dowling has been a regular pundit for RTÉ since his retirement from the inter-county game.
The Na Piarsaigh man’s management team will include Liam Cronin from Cappamore. Cronin was a coach to Cork’s All-Ireland winning camogie team this year.
Dowling and Cronin were both part of the management team for the Limerick U16 team which won the Eugene Carey tournament last month.
Meanwhile, in Clare, Brian Lohan has been reappointed to the senior hurling job. Mark Fitzgerald will lead the county’s senior footballers.
