Clare County Board chairman Michael McDonagh has confirmed Mike McNamara is the board's choice to succeed Tony Considine as the county's senior hurling team manager.
McNamara's name will be put before delegates at a meeting this evening, and Frank Doherty, who guided Galway side Caltra to All-Ireland club football glory in 2004, will be ratified as Clare's new senior football boss.
McNamara and Considine worked together alongside manager Ger Loughnane as Clare won All-Ireland titles in 1995 and 1997.
McNamara was manager of Offaly for two seasons, 2003 and 2004. It is understood McNamara will reveal his backroom staff this evening and former players Fergie Tuohy and Ollie Baker are tipped to come on board.
Meanwhile, Galway native Doherty will succeed Páidí Ó Sé as football manager. It will be his first foray into senior intercounty management.
