​EURO2016: O'Neill wants to stay as boss Republic of Ireland with Keane as assistant

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."
