Conor Counihan has welcomed Ronan McCarthy's appointment as Cork football manager.

McCarthy, who was yesterday unveiled as Peadar Healy's successor, served as a selector in 2013 when Counihan was manager.

"Ronan has a good track record with his own club, Douglas, and with Carbery Rangers in last year's senior championship in Cork," the 2010 All-Ireland winning manager noted in the Irish Examiner.

"We worked together with Cork back in 2013 and he was very impressive, very professional, and dedicated. He was very good to work with.

"Inter-county management can be a hard, thankless job, and I hope that now he's been appointed he'll get the time he needs in the new job. Even though he's been there before, as manager he'll be under a lot of pressure so he'll need support and help when it's needed, I hope that's forthcoming."
