Former Everton and Manchester City defender Richard Dunne says he's ready to enter management.

Bohemians have conducted a second round of interviews this week and the Ireland legend is in the frame along with former AIK Stockholm assistant Sean O'Shea and Wexford boss Ian Ryan.

Dunne was asked about the story on Virgin Media's UEFA Nations League coverage and was coy when answering on the Bohs link before outlining his broader ambitions.

“There's not a lot to tell, it's speculation, it's not the worst story I've heard about myself, it's one of those things, it happens, ex internationals get linked with stuff from time to time," said Dunne.

“For the last six or seven years I've been coaching (youth level) in France and England, I've done my coaching badges. I've just finished my Pro licence so it's time to try and test myself at a higher level. If something does come up I'd be interested in it."
