O’Leary wants to be Ireland boss — but not yet

DAVID O’Leary has admitted that he would like to manage the Republic of Ireland but not until he has fulfilled all his ambitions in club football.

Aston Villa manager O'Leary was quick to distance himself from the job which became vacant when it was decided not to renew Brian Kerr's contract earlier in the month.

But the former Republic central defender will be keen to have a crack at the post or any in role in international football in the future.
