Davy Fitzgerald will sit down with Waterford officials in the coming weeks to discuss his future in the wake of yesterday's defeat to Tipperary.

The former Clare goalkeeper's two-year term as manager is now officially up, and he admitted it is "a massive commitment" travelling from his home in Clare to Waterford for training and matches.

Asked if he will continue, he replied: "I don't know as my two years are up. We've had a great three years and won a lot of championship games. We'll sit down and talk. It's a massive commitment and there's a lot of driving. You're leaving home everyday at 2 and you don't get home until 12. But I like it that way."

Fitzgerald indicated that he wants to continue in inter-county management next year. And he was also adamant that this Waterford team could still win an All-Ireland.

"I've worked with a great bunch of lads. There is a great team spirit there and there are serious leaders. Some probably won't be happy that they didn't see enough of game time. I have a job to do, to pick the best Waterford team I could and trust me, you'll have lads who are disappointed but I wanted to win as much as any of them."

He continued: "I still believe this team can go on. A Munster title wasn't too bad. I remember in 2008 they didn't think they would be going back for another one. Ye said to me coming down that things were dead and gone. We are not 100 miles off the best." Tweet
