Ambitious Roy keen to ’get back in driving seat’
Not the least of those issues relates to his still burning managerial ambitions, to what he calls “getting back in the driving seat”.
Speaking at the launch of the new U17 national league at FAI headquarters in Abbotstown yesterday, Keane initially reacted with a broad smile to a question about O’Neill’s tenure - “What do you want me to say? Get rid of him? If we lose the next four games you’ll be kicking us down the road!” - but, in more reflective mood, accepted the question had validity, in terms of the opportunity the World Cup would offer to build on the manager’s first campaign and, more specifically, against the backdrop of O’Neill’s own recent hints he’d be willing to stay on.
