Ireland to opt for O鈥橬eill-Keane duo
The Football Association of Ireland is set to announce Martin O’Neill and Roy Keane as their new management team following the departure of Giovanni Trapattoni after a five-year tenure, local media reported.
The Irish Times newspaper said the appointment was approved at an informal board meeting that was held after the FAI Cup final in Dublin on Sunday. It comes following an unsuccessful World Cup qualifying campaign that saw Italian Trapattoni depart as his side finished in fourth place in Group C behind Germany, Sweden and Austria. A popular choice among fans, Northern Irishman O’Neill made his name as a player under Brian Clough at Nottingham Forest and has a proven managerial track record at Celtic and in the English Premier League with Aston Villa. But it is the possibility of the appointment of former Manchester United captain Keane — another Clough protégé and one of the most divisive figures in Irish soccer due to his fiery temperament — that is most intriguing.
