Ireland’s loss could be England’s gain

|

Republic of Ireland manager Martin O’Neill and his assistant Roy Keane have left their roles.

The pair were appointed in 2013 and guided the Republic to the last 16 of the 2016 European Championship. However, they did not win a competitive game in 2018 and were relegated from Uefa Nations League Group B4.

“I thank Martin, Roy, and the management team for the impact they had,” said Football Association of Ireland (FAI) chief John Delaney.

“There have been many highlights during Martin’s reign – none more so than Euro 2016 in France, which will live long in the memory of all Irish supporters.”

The loss of Martin O’Neill as Ireland’s manager could now make Declan Rice’s decision much easier on whether to switch his alliance to England.
