Brian Cody has stepped down as James Stephens' manager in the wake of their relegation to the intermediate ranks in Kilkenny.
After reaching the Kilkenny SHC semi-final in 2023, the three-time All-Ireland winning club was relegated for the first time in their history from the top tier on Noreside.
The 11-time All-Ireland winning boss is set to be succeeded by former All-Star forward Eoin Larkin as the Village bids to make a swift return to senior.
nine-time All-Ireland winner Jackie Tyrrell will be part of Larkin's backroom team, as he takes on a first coaching role. They will also be both joined by Kilkenny panellist Matthew Ruth.
The trio are set to be ratified at the club's AGM this evening.
