Stephen Molumphy has been confirmed as the next Waterford senior hurling manager.
The 42-year-old, who won two Munster titles as a player for the Déise as well as a league title to go along with All-Star recognition in 2007, has been appointed on a three-year term and will be ratified at the next county board meeting.
Having been a selector for Waterford, Molumphy served as Kerry senior hurling manager from 2021 to 2024.
In a statement, Waterford GAA said: “Waterford GAA is delighted to announce Stephen Molumphy as its proposed new Senior Hurling Manager.
“The appointment for a three year term was agreed at a meeting of Coiste Bainisti this evening and will be recommended for ratification at the next meeting of Waterford County Board.
“Waterford GAA extend our best wishes to Stephen and wish him every success in the role.”
Molumphy succeeds Peter Queally, who ended his two-year tenure as manager in June.
Waterford finished fourth in the Munster round-robin this summer, missing out again on the All-Ireland knockout stages.
