Trapattoni: Euro qualifiers will decide my future

GIOVANNI TRAPATTONI appears to accept that success or failure to qualify for next year’s European Championship finals in Poland and Ukraine will determine his future as Ireland manager.

Quoted yesterday, the Italian said: “This could be my last season with Ireland but I wish to clarify that I understand the FAI’s position regarding qualification.

“Obviously I would be sad if I don’t get to finish the job I started with Ireland. The team is evolving and growing but we are not finished our job here yet.
