Liam Kearns is staying on as Tipperary senior football manager for a fourth season.

The Kerry man was named as Premier County manager in November, 2015 and led Tipp to a Munster SFC final and All-Ireland semi-final the following season. He agreed a new two-year extension last year and has confirmed that he'll be fulfilling it.

Tipp's 2018 season was shrouded in controversy as they were forced to face Cork in their Munster semi-final the weekend after defeating Waterford. They subsequently put it up to Mayo in the Qualifiers but came up short.

Kearns has developed Tipperary into a solid Division Two side, leading them to the Division Three title in 2017.
