John Evans has confirmed to Tipperary county board officials that he wishes to continue as senior football manager for a second year.

The Kerry man can take a lot of encouragement from his first year at the helm when he guided Tipperary to promotion from Division 4 of the NFL against all expectations. They ran Limerick close in the Munster championship before losing to Westmeath by nine points in the All-Ireland qualifiers. Tweet
