The Clare native has decided to end his second spell in charge of the Deise after they failed to secure a top three finish in the Munster round robin phase
, though the fact that they largely performed well in the Championship had led to speculation that he would remain in situ.
But, in a statement issued to the Irish Examiner, Fitzgerald said: “After careful consideration, I have decided to step down as manager of the Waterford senior hurling team. I would like to sincerely thank the players for their efforts over the last two years. “I’d like to express a massive thanks to Peter , Eoin and all of my backroom team as well as county chairman, Seán Michael O’Regan, secretary, Pat Flynn, and PRO, Richard Tobin, for their unstinting support during the last two years. And finally I want to wish all involved with Waterford GAA every success into the future.”
