Liam Cahill has become the latest Munster hurling manager to leave his post this week after ending his three-year term with Waterford.The Tipperary native opted against taking a fourth year with the Déise, and the decision comes a day after his native county announced that they had "relieved" Colm Bonnar of his duties.Cahill guided the side to the 2020 All-Ireland Hurling final where they lost by 11 points to Limerick in a game played in December in front of no fans due to the Covid-19 pandemic.In April of this year they defeated Cork in the Allianz League final, but despite winning their first Munster Championship round-robin game against Tipperary, they missed out on the All-Ireland knock-out stages after three consecutive defeats.In August 2021, he turned down the chance to take over Tipperary to remain with Waterford, and he has already been linked with the recently vacated Premier post."Waterford GAA wish to announce that Liam Cahill has today informed Waterford County Board that he has decided not to take up the option of a fourth year as Manager of the Waterford Senior Hurling Team," a statement read."All in Waterford wish to sincerely thank Liam and all his backroom team for their tremendous work, commitment and dedication to the Waterford Senior Hurling Team over the last three years which culminated in an Allianz League title along with Munster and All-Ireland Final appearances."
