KEANE TO GET BACK IN CHARGE

ROY KEANE fancies a return to club management ‘soon’ – providing the challenge ‘rocks his boat’.

But the Republic of Ireland assistant admits he is unlikely to land a Premier League job.

Keane (left) and boss Martin O’Neill (right) could be under pressure if the Nations League double-header against Denmark and Wales goes badly.

Keane said: “This idea I’d be looking at a club and thinking, ‘I fancy that one’ – I don’t work that way, I don’t network.

“I just focus on the job in hand and that’s a big one with Ireland. But hopefully soon I’d like to become a manager again. It’s just getting that offer and challenge that will rock my boat.

“I’d be realistic, it’s hardly going to be a Premier League offer, realistically in the Championship but there are a lot of brilliant clubs there. “There’s no doubt in my mind that I could go in there and get a club promoted with the right support.

“It would depend on the club and the people involved.”

Keane got Sunderland promoted from the second tier but his stint at Ipswich was a disappointment. He is under contract with the FAI until the end of the Euro 2020 qualifiers.
