Eamonn Fitzmaurice will remain with the Kerry senior side until 2020 following confirmation from the county board that the manager had been handed a two-year extension.
The Lixnaw native has been in charge of the Kingdom since 2012 and will now be looking to end the Dublin dominance, which has seen the Jacks win three All-Ireland titles in a row.
Kerry, of course, reached the semi-final during the 2017 campaign, eventually losing out to Mayo, following a replay.
Fitzmaurice enjoyed All-Ireland success in 2014, where the Kingdom beat Donegal 2-09 to 0-12 in the final, before losing the 2015 decider to Dublin by three points.
Eamonn Fitzmaurice has been given a 2 year extension to his current term in charge of Kerry SF team. He wiil now be in charge to 2020.
