'The Selection Committee members interviewed many contenders for the role during the previous two weeks, and were most impressed by Fitzgerald, who recently departed the managerial role in his native Clare,' Wexford GAA announced. 'He was their unanimous choice as new Wexford manager, and he provisionally accepted the role on Thursday night, pending approval at Friday night’s County Board meeting. 'The appointment is for a three-year term, with a review to take place after year two.'And the man himself is said to be "honoured" to be sworn in as Wexford's new leader.
"I am really excited about this opportunity with Wexford, and I was honoured to be asked to accept the job," Fitzgerald said. "It’s a new challenge for me, and I’m really looking forward to it."Immediately though, the divisions began. One Clare fan was delighted.
