Keane: Roy staying is a vote of confidence

Republic of Ireland captain Robbie Keane pictured insisted he and his team- mates were moving on following the uncertainty over thefuture of assistant manager Roy Keane.

Having only joined up with the squad this week when they flew into the US on Wednesday, the LA Galaxy player was only hearing “bits and bobs” from afar. He expressed his relief in the team hotel yesterday that his former international team-mate had opted to stick around, and agreed that it represented a vote of confidence in this groups of players.

“I heard the manager saying today that it’s done now, he’s here, we’ll move on,” said Keane who trained for the first time with his international team mates earlier yesterday morning.
