Shay Boland's the frontrunner for the Dublin hurling manager's job.
By all accounts the former Minor and Under 21 boss is wanted by the Dublin County Board on a three year contract.
Former Dubs defender Boland's an Oliver Plunketts/Eoghan Rua mainstay and managed the Dubs to a couple of minor All Ireland finals in a row in 2011 and '12.
Dubs Chairman Andy Kettle has already revealed his preference for having the successor to Anthony Daly in place this month.
