Stephen Wallace has been officially ratified as the new Offaly senior football manager at a meeting of the county board.

Wallace has previously tasted success with the Kerry junior side and his club Ardfert.

Former Laois footballer Billy Sheehan will be part of his backroom team as a coach.

However, the wait to rubberstamp Kevin Martin as the Faithful County’s new hurling coach goes on.

Declan Kelly will take charge of the U20 footballers while John Hughes will manage the U17 team.
