Ó Sé pulls out of Kerry managerial race

Former Kerry Football manager Páidí Ó Sé has revealed to RTÉ Sport that he is pulling out of the race to be the new manager of the county's footballers.

Ó Sé was the favourite to take over from Jack O'Connor who left the post after the All-Ireland victory over Mayo last month.

Ó Sé's hat was thrown into the ring for the vacant role earlier in the month after he was approached by several Kerry clubs and asked to apply for the job. However, he has now withdrawn from the race for 'personal reasons'.

His decision now appears to clear the way for Dr Crokes manager Pat O'Shea, who is now the favourite to take charge of the Kingdom's footballers.
