Waterford on the lookout for new manager following Ephie Fitzgerald's departure

The Waterford senior footballers are on the lookout for a new manager following Ephie Fitzgerald's decision to step away after two seasons at the helm.

The former Cork ladies manager took up the role in late 2021, replacing Shane Ronayne. 

The Déise footballers performed well in the Muster Championship, most notably running Tipperary all the way, before going on to lose their three Tailteann Cup games.

"Waterford GAA wish to announce that Ephie Fitzgerald has informed the Waterford County Board that he has decided not to take up the option of a third year as Manager of the Waterford Senior Football Team," a statement read.

"All in Waterford GAA wish to sincerely thank Ephie and all his backroom team for their tremendous work, commitment, and dedication to the Waterford Senior Football Team over the past two years and to the County Under 20 Team over the past twelve months.

"Waterford GAA would like to wish Ephie every success in his future endeavours. A process will now be put in place for the appointment of new Management Teams for Senior and Under 20 Football."
