Eamon O'Shea has ruled himself out of a return to inter-county coaching with the Galway hurlers.

The former Tipperary manager had been linked with a coaching role under Michael Donoghue, who is the favourite for the Tribesmen job.

But he has indicated that he has got no desire to return to management after ending his involvement with his native county.

"I'm retired. In the same way as the 4 guys have retired, I'm retired. I won't be getting involved." Eamon O'Shea on #Galway rumours. #GAA
