Liam Cahill has denied that any talks took place over the Tipperary senior hurling manager’s position before Colm Bonnar’s departure last week.
Tipperary officially appointed Cahill on a three-year term on Monday – just four days after confirming that former boss Bonnar had been “relieved of his duties”.
Speaking to RTE Sport, Cahill let it be known that the county had made contact with him after Bonnar’s departure.
“I want to be very clear that I received a phone call a short time after Colm Bonnar's exit from the Tipperary job. For me, second time around, it was very simple. The answer was yes and it went from there,” he stated.
"I can relate to why there would be anger out there. Colm Bonnar took on this job at a really difficult time. There was a lot of injuries and retirements and he was the man who put his hand up last year to take it on.
"I can understand people would be angry that he wasn't given more time. I for one don't know what conversations Colm Bonnar had with the Tipperary County Board.
"Unfortunately, inter-county hurling is a results-driven business and results last year in the Munster Championship might not have helped Colm's cause. What can I say, only that I wish Colm Bonnar all the best for the future.”
