Kerr: Keane not a given to succeed O’Neill

Former Republic of Ireland manager Brian Kerr does not believe Roy Keane will be the automatic choice to eventually succeed Martin O’Neill.

While the FAI recruited their dream management ticket this month, Kerr does not share the view Keane will be a shoo-in once O’Neill finally steps aside.

After short stints in charge of Sunderland and Ipswich Town, Keane was eager to get back involved in football and jumped at the chance of becoming assistant to O’Neill, so he could learn a lot more about the job.
