Two English veteran coaches have entered the race to become Republic of Ireland manager.

The Irish are seeking a new boss after they were unable to qualify for Euro 2024.

That failure has cost Stephen Kenny his job, with Sam Allardyce and Steve Bruce touted as replacements.

Per The Mail, Allardyce and Bruce are both ready to take the job if they are the preferred candidate of the Irish FA.

Bayern Munich assistant manager Anthony Barry is the man that Ireland are hoping to hire.

However, they may turn to Allardyce or Bruce if their first few options are not available.
