AARON KERNAN believes that Kieran Donaghy is a Kerry manager in waiting.

Donaghy recently stepped down from his role as Armagh coach after five years working under Kieran McGeeney.

The obvious high point was last year's All-Ireland success as the Orchard men beat Donaghy's native county en route in the semi-final.

Kerry turned the tables in this year's quarter-final as they ended Armagh's reign, after which Donaghy announced his departure.

But former Orchard star Kernan (inset) believes he will take a senior position in the Kingdom's management team in the future.
