Jimmy Barry-Murphy has been ratified as Cork's new hurling manager following a meeting of the Cork county board on Tuesday.
The former dual star's name was put forward for ratification along with selectors Ger Cunningham, Johnny Crowley, Kieran Kingston and Seanie McGrath.
Like Barry-Murphy, all four are former All-Ireland winners.
The recommendation of the county committee that the new management team be put in place was unanimously approved and Barry-Murphy has been handed a term that will run until the end of the 2014 campaign.
Yesterday also saw Waterford boss Davy Fitzgerald and Limerick manager Donal O'Grady decide not to continue in their current posts.
