Offaly supporters have reacted in delight to news that Kerry legend and Sunday Game analyst Tomás Ó Sé is set to join John Maughan's Offaly football management team for the 2022 season.
Twitter was also alive with reaction to the news with the multiple All-Ireland winner taking his first step behind the scenes at a senior intercounty team.

The rebuild in Offaly continues. Huge strides made there in the past couple of years. Ambition and hard work are a lethal combination. https://t.co/PSW2066BNn

Some day, in the not too distant future, Dublin's reign over Leinster will end, and something tells me, Offaly will be the county which ends it.

They have a perfect combo of emerging young talent, Mayo managerial wisdom, and now a brilliant tactical modernist from Kerry. https://t.co/n9E6wP4UKf
Great appointment. @tomas5ky will be huge addition to the county. He is very good @TheSundayGame as well as a great footballer with huge tradition. Great boost for the county. U20 team winning the All Ireland had to help to make these things possible

Good move Offaly.

Given the family connections, said a year ago Westmeath should've called him in. https://t.co/QZ4Ej4ko93
Tomás is off to Offaly, best of luck to him in his new role as selector, hopefully this is an apprenticeship for a future gig with the Kingdom https://t.co/HpkhLOLU6q

@tomas5ky best wishes on your new role in Offaly. No doubt you will get a few reminders about 82 from them

@tomas5ky No better buachaill! Great bunch of young players coming through, so looking forward to Offaly shaking things up in a few years!

Incredible time for @Offaly_GAA - Fair play to them - @tomas5ky a fantastic man to have in your corner alongside many others. And they're tasting success. Nothing like adding to momentum. Good luck to the Faithful! pic.twitter.com/26bLKT2qR7

Indo columnist defects from Kerry to help @Offaly_GAA. I presume @shanephelanindo is fully endorsing this move! https://t.co/Z9JoRTd6u6

No better man to help keep the Faithful County on the rise. Who knows, maybe a stepping stone to a big job in Kerry down the line too
