Davy Fitzgerald says he would ‘definitely listen’ if he was asked to manage the Galway hurlers.

The Sixmilebridge man, who stepped down as Waterford manager earlier this month after two seasons in charge, has been heavily linked with a move to Galway following Henry Shefflin’s recent departure. Fitzgerald was previously approached about taking the Galway job after leading Wexford to Leinster SHC glory in 2019, but opted to stay with the Slaneysiders.

 "Everything has to align,” he told The GAA Social podcast.

“You need the county board, you need players, everyone on the same wavelength. People are funny how they think. I've had one or two fellas I'm in business with and friendly with from up there saying 'Listen, we'll get onto the Galway county board and say it to them'. They're the only calls I've had.

"I'd definitely listen but things have to align. You never know what project is out there. There are different things that would excite me that you'd think 'He'd never do that'. If I thought there was a real ambition for someone to do something different and for things to really align good, be it at Galway or somewhere else, I'd listen to it.

“I want someone that's really ambitious."
