Brady in Trapattoni talks as Colombia game confirmed

LIAM BRADY and FAI chief executive John Delaney flew out to Salzburg yesterday for discussions with Giovanni Trapattoni which should see Brady’s role confirmed and clarified in the new Irish management set-up.

Brady, who helped sell the Irish position to the veteran Italian coach, has been given the green light by Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger to work with Trapattoni, once it doesn’t interfere with his existing job as head of youth development at the London club.

Brady and John Delaney were in the Bulls Arena last night to watch Red Bull Salzburg take on Cashpoint Altach as Trapattoni’s team sought to make up recent lost ground in the Austrian League.
