Tipperary football manager Liam Kearns has confirmed he is stepping down from his role.

It's after the Premier County's 1 10 to 1 13 loss to Down in round 1 of the All-Ireland football qualifiers.

Kearns guided the Tipp footballers to the All-Ireland semi final in 2016.

"Liam brought the Tipperary team and their loyal band of supporters on an incredible journey, the highlight of which was an All-Ireland semi-final appearance in 2016."

"This was followed up with Division 3 success in 2017 and a determined push to achieve promotion to Division 1 in 2018."

"Unfortunately, beset by injury the panel and management were hindered in their quest to push on in 2019."
