Martin O'Neill intends to remain in charge of the Republic of Ireland team, with Roy Keane to stay as his assistant.

"I think my contract officially ended about a minute and a half after the result, so that was when we were out," he said. "I don't see that being an issue now. I think I've agreed with [FAI chief] John Delaney…and I'd be happy to continue on if he's still feeling that way."

Asked about Keane's future, he said: "I'd like to do that, yes. I think he'll decide for himself but yes, absolutely.

"I think he's been great for the team and I think he's been great for everyone. I'll sit down with him and if he feels he wants to stay with us that would be great."
