Kildare great Johnny Doyle will dip his toes into gaelic football management with the Maynooth University Sigerson Cup team.
Doyle brought the curtain down on his 15 year inter-county career in 2014 and he said: "I'm looking forward to it.
"I suppose it's not my first real jump into management, I was involved with Na Fianna (local amalgamation) underage but this is the highest level I will have been involved in.
"I'm looking forward to getting in and getting to know the lads. It's going to be a learning curve for me for the first couple of weeks to see what makes them tick and what sort of characters they are but I'm looking forward to that."
Doyle will be hoping to improve on the round one exit the Kildare college suffered in this year's Sigerson Cup.
They lost out to UL in a low-scoring encounter - 0-5 to 0-6.
