Limerick hope to have John Brudair's successor in place by the latter stages of the county senior football championship.

Brudair stepped down after three years in charge earlier this week, and a five-man selection committee is being put in place to find his replacement. Former players Muiris Gavin, Michael Reidy and Tommy Stack have been touted for the role along with junior team manager Diarmuid Sheedy and Tipperary's David Power, who recently vacated the Wexford post.

"It would be my intention that the work is done as speedily as possible because we will be into the later stages of the Limerick SFC very shortly," Limerick football committee chairman John Cregan told the Limerick Leader.

In paying tribute to the outgoing manager, Cregan said: "He put in a huge amount of work into it - I doubt there wasn't a day when he was working for Limerick football and for that we owe him a debt of gratitude.

"He went above and beyond the call of duty for his players and I think they appreciate that from him. He took over a team in transition and did well to maintain Division 3 status until this season."
