Man Utd legend Keane talks up Ireland job

Manchester United legend Roy Keane revealed he could make a return to management.

The former Republic of Ireland and United captain has not worked since he was Nottingham Forest assistant in 2019.

Keane has coached many teams, while he also served as assistant for the Republic of Ireland national team.

On The Overlap's Stick to Football, Keane said: “I think so, not that you're going to get the Real Madrid job but it's got to be the right challenge, the right club, and the right contract.

"I've had opportunities, but sometimes you get offered a contract and you have to look at it with self-worth, is it the right deal for you? I'd like to go back in [to management], but I'm not desperate to sign any contract for anybody.

“[On whether the Ireland job would be of interest] Yes, I enjoyed international football when I was a coach there, I like the dynamics of it where you're not in every day and it's not about brining players in and dealing with the board every week.

"That does appeal to me, I did enjoy the dynamics when I was coaching with the Irish team – that could be an option."
