The 1989 and '90 All-Ireland winning forward spent six years as Cork U21 manager, having served as a selector under Tony Leahy for four years prior to that. During his time in charge, Cork won one All-Ireland and four Munster titles. They also lost last year's All-Ireland final to Galway, which turned out to be the Castlehaven man's last game in charge.
Following Conor Counihan's resignation as Cork senior boss, Cleary's name was linked to the vacancy before it was eventually filled by Brian Cuthbert.
