Staunton misses out on job at Rotherham

FORMER Republic of Ireland manager Steve Staunton has been overlooked for vacant job with League Two outfit Rotherham United after the Millers opted to rehire former boss Ronnie Moore.

The news will come as a blow to the 40-year-old who has been out of work since leaving his role as Leeds United assistant manager last December.

Speaking earlier this month Staunton, who was sacked as Ireland manager in October 2007 after an ignominious 21-month reign, publicly declared his interest in the job.
