The Kilkenny county board is expected to have a committee in place to choose Brian Cody’s successor this week.
Kilkenny officials meet tonight to plot a route forward after it emerged over the weekend that Cody was vacating the senior hurling manager’s role following a glory-laden 24 years in which he delivered 11 All-Irelands, 18 Leinster and 10 League titles.
It is believed that the process to make an appointment will not drag on as the board is anxious that the new manager will have the opportunity to run the rule over the local championships, which are currently cranking up, something which may have also influenced the timing of Cody finalising his retirement.
