Fossa GAA club expects to have a new manager appointed early next week ahead of their upcoming provincial campaign, according to reports from Irish Examiner, RTE, Irish Mirror, BreakingNews.ie, and Irish Independent. Jerome Stack stepped down as manager last weekend, four weeks after leading the club to their first Kerry Intermediate Football Championship title. [1][2][3][4][5]

The Irish Examiner reported that speculation surrounds Stack's decision, suggesting he was frustrated with training arrangements for players involved with the East Kerry county divisional team. Stack had previously worked with the Kerry ladies team and achieved success across multiple counties before his sudden exit. [1]

Paudie Clifford plays as centre back and captain for Fossa, half forward for regional side East Kerry, and at senior level for the Kerry county team. He is the older brother of fellow Kerry footballer David Clifford. [6]

Despite the unexpected managerial departure, the Irish Independent reported that Paudie Clifford insisted the players are training hard themselves to prepare for the upcoming Munster campaign. [1][5]
