The acquisition of Paul Galvin by Kildare manager Glenn Ryan further embellishes the coaching and managerial portfolio of Kerry’s All-Ireland winning team of 2009.
Of the 20 players who featured in that year’s All-Ireland final win over Cork, two have managed at senior inter-county level and four more have served or are serving in management teams at that level, with several more having worked with underage and/or third level sides.
Indeed, a small handful of the team that delivered Kerry’s 36th All-Ireland are either still playing or recently retired from inter-county football and so haven’t had the opportunity to cut their coaching teeth at a high level just yet.
