Former captain Mick Galwey and Erins Owen/Mallow GAA clubman Colm Coakley have been added to the Munster senior management ticket for the coming season.
Foley, Munster's most capped player and leading try scorer, formerly a Technical Advisor, assumes the role of Assistant Coach with additional responsibility for Defence while maintaining his function as Head Coach to the Munster British & Irish Cup side.
Galwey, captain, and teammate of Foley's, of the Munster side that reached the 2000 Heineken Cup final becomes Munster Squad Advisor, a part-time position that will see him act as Mentor for the Senior and Development contracted players with additional responsibilities cognisant of that role. The Kerryman, who won the last of his 136 Munster competitive caps in February 2003 was also on that Munster side – coached by Munster's CEO Garrett Fitzgerald – alongside McCarthy in that '92 Musgrave victory and was also involved with the Foley coached Munster British & Irish Cup side that remained unbeaten until last year's final.
