John Kiely will remain as Limerick senior hurling manager for their All-Ireland SHC title defence next year, with the county board confirming he’s staying on “with the option to extend for a further season thereafter”.<\/p>\n
It will be Kiely’s 11th campaign with the Treaty men.<\/p>\n
He succeeded TJ Ryan back in September 2016, and went on to spectacularly revitalise Limerick’s fortunes.<\/p>\n
Last July’s defeat of Galway secured the sixth All-Ireland title of his rein. He’s also won eight Munster crowns and four Allianz Hurling Leagues.<\/p>\n
“Limerick GAA can confirm that Limerick senior hurling manager John Kiely is to continue in his role for the 2027 season with an option to extend for a further season thereafter,” a statement read.<\/p>\n
“The remainder of his management and backroom team will be confirmed in due course. The extension is subject to ratification by delegates at the October meeting of the Limerick County Board.”<\/p>\n
Limerick GAA chairman Seamus McNamara added: “We are delighted that John is set to continue on in his role as Limerick senior hurling manager for at least another season. John, his management team and players have brought so much positivity to the county and we are delighted that he will remain at the helm for 2027.”<\/p>\n
Earler this week Gear\u00f3id Hegarty aired his desire to see Kiely remain at the helm.<\/p>\n
“I hope so, I hope so,” he said when asked if Kiely would be in charge for 2027.<\/p>\n
“I haven’t heard that he’s not yet, so no news is good news.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"John Kiely will remain as Limerick senior hurling manager for their All-Ireland SHC title defence next year, with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":621502,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[61,60,43],"class_list":["post-621501","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621501","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=621501"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621501\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/621502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=621501"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=621501"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=621501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
