MICHAEL RYAN has admitted that he’s considering letting his name go forward for the Waterford hurling manager’s post.

Ryan, who guided De La Salle to county and Munster club glory in 2010, has been nominated for the position by his club Fourmilewater. “I’m seriously considering it to be honest,” said Ryan. “Supporters are always asking me and I’m a Waterford man at the end of the day.”

Ryan boasts an impressive CV and served as selector alongside Justin McCarthy when Waterford won the league and Munster championship in 2007.

In 2000, he was selector/coach with the Waterford Under-21 football team that scored a shock replay victory over Kerry in Killarney. And, as manager of the Waterford women’s football team, he masterminded five All-Ireland successes and was also involved with the victorious Laois (2001) and Dublin (2010) teams.

Ryan also took charge of the successful Munster interprovincial hurling team in 2007 and masterminded 10 All-Ireland women’s club titles for his native Ballymacarbry between 1987 and 1998.
