Martin O'Neill has played down speculation regarding the Hull City job.

The Republic of Ireland manager has bene linked with the Tigers role which is currently held by Mike Phelan on an interim basis.

However, the former Leicester City, Celtic, Aston Villa and Sunderland manager insists he is happy with the Irish national team as he is set to sign a new two-year deal with the Football Association of Ireland.

"I don't think anything of that," O'Neill told Sky Sports after his side were 2-2 with Serbia in World Cup qualifying.

"There will be no hiccups with my contract, I should imagine we've got it sorted.

"In fact, we've shaken hands on a deal some time ago."
