Hennessy keeping eyes open for next big US star

Have you heard about the Corkman helping to discover the next big star in world football? Well, he’s doing it for the United States, not the Republic of Ireland.

If Ian Hennessy had his way, he would be based in his hometown coaching, scouting and trying to make a real difference in Irish football, but sometimes life is not as simple as you would like it to be.

Instead, the 47-year-old is doing all of those things from his base in Delaware as the chief scout of US Soccer between New York and Washington DC.
