Kildare’s former Under-20 boss Davy Burke has been interviewed for the position along with Padraig Pearses' boss Pat Flanagan and Ballymun Kickhams' manager Brendan Hackett.

The Lilywhites claimed an All-Ireland Under-20 title under Burke's leadership in 2018 and he subsequently guided Sarsfields to a Kildare senior title one year later.

Flanagan has led Padraig Pearses to Roscommon senior titles in 2019 and 2021 while he followed up on the latter success with a provincial crown last January.

Ballymun Kickhams won a Dublin senior crown under Hackett's stewardship two years ago while he also masterminded two Leinster titles while in charge of the Kildare minor footballers.
