“Am I saying I am out of love with the game? Definitely not, I’m not out of love, but circumstances are a bit different right now. It would just be nice to have a summer, I don’t get too many summers where I don’t have to think about hurling. Might that change? It might. I don’t know, it’s just right now I felt Waterford needed an answer.”
“I actually have a summer, now that I have made my decision, that I don’t have to think about hurling right now. Listen, that might change in a few weeks, but right now, I have a bit of time at home.

He remained with the Déise until the end of the 2011 championship and by the following season he had taken charge of his native Clare. During his spell as Banner boss, Fitzgerald guided Clare to an All-Ireland triumph and a National League title. Fitzgerald’s decision to step down has created a vacancy now in Waterford and occasionally one departure can have a domino effect on the managerial landscape.
