Republic of Ireland boss Martin O'Neill is happy with Roy Keane's move to Aston Villa.
The Manchester United legend will combine his assistant boss's job with Villa with a similar role helping O'Neill with the Republic of Ireland national team.
"This is a good arrangement for us that allows Roy to remain in position as my assistant manager," said O'Neill.
"Since he started in November, Roy has been excellent with the players and I have no doubt that he will bring all of the positive attributes he has shown here to the role he takes on at Aston Villa with Paul Lambert."
