Tomás Ó Sé is certain that Maurice Fitzgerald has what it takes to be the next Kerry football manager.
The legendary Caherciveen man served as a selector under outgoing manager Eamonn Fitzmaurice and has emerged in recent days as the leading candidate to replace him.
"He's a track record. He's coached St Mary's. He has an aura, he would be a good fit. But I also think they need to get the full team right. It's not just one man anymore. It's a full team, a backroom team and they need to get it right," Ó Sé told Game On on RTÉ 2fm.
"He's a down-to-earth guy. He's very good company and very easy to talk to. You think he's a quiet guy, but he's full of roguery.
"Certainly he has the respect of everyone in Kerry. I do think he possesses the qualities of a man that can take over a team and gel them.
"But there's plenty of guys putting their hands up, Peter Keane, Pat O'Shea, Jack O'Connor. They won't certainly be going outside of Kerry. Anything can happen in Kerry. There's names being bandied around at the moment.
"I haven't heard anything concrete, but Maurice is apparently the lead man at the moment."
