Jack O'Connor has been appointed the new manager of the Kerry U21 footballers.

The current Kerry Minor boss has been involved with 15 All-Ireland winning sides throughout his managerial career from schools to senior level, leading the Kingdom to Sam Maguire in 2004, 2006, and 2009.

O'Connor has been appointed on a two-year term and replaces Darragh Ó Sé, who stepped down at the end of his term earlier this year.

The Kerry County Board say that O'Connor will finalise his backroom staff once his tenure with the Minor team comes to an end.
