Current member of the backroom team for the Tipperary senior hurlers, Michael Ryan, is set to succeed Eamon O'Shea as manager at the end of next season's All Ireland championship.

The Tipperary County Board is set to debate the recommendation that the Upperchurch-Drombane clubman will succeed O'Shea at its next full meeting later this week.

Last week, O’Shea, who is based in Galway where he works as a professor at NUIG, met Tipperary officials to confirm that he would be staying on for at least another year.

Ryan was part of Tipperary’s All-Ireland-winning team of 1991 as a player, and featured as a selector for Liam Sheedy’s All-Ireland-winning side of 2010. He has been part of O’Shea’s backroom staff since 2012.
