John Kiely to remain as manager of Limerick as they go in search of unprecedented five-in-a-row

Dublin GAA confirmed on Friday night that Dessie Farrell had agreed to stay on as manager of the capital’s senior footballers for two more years, so Kiely’s Limerick return ensures both the reigning All-Ireland senior hurling and football champions will have continuity at the helm for 2024.
Kilkenny went much closer to pulling off the feat just over a decade ago, with Brian Cody’s charges navigating a path back to an All-Ireland final in 2010. However, Lar Corbett’s hat-trick inspired Tipperary to victory that day and snatched history from Kilkenny’s grasp. Over the years, several Limerick players and other members of the management team have namechecked Currid when identifying key driving factors within the group during this era of dominance, so the Sligo native’s absence will come as a disappointment to the dressingroom for 2024. Tony Óg Regan, the former Galway hurler, replaced Currid in Limerick for the 2019 season.
Kiely was given a fresh two-year term in September 2019, with the option of a third season. Two years – and two All-Ireland wins – later he was reappointed for a further two years in September 2021, taking Kiely to the end of the 2023 season.
