FAI: Trap contract no worry
Although the organisation had no statement to make on the Irish manager’s comments hinting he may walk away if not offered a new deal, the FAI are understood to be relaxed about the Italian’s commitment.
One source close to the management team said that “he himself is fully focused on the play-offs. When he made those comments, it was in response to a leading question asked, so I wouldn’t say he is agitating for a new contract. He’s a professional and wants to get to the job done.”
