Roy Keane: I’m not going to jump ship after Euro 2016

Roy Keane admits Ireland will need all their leadership qualities to defy a lowly seeding at next summer’s European Championships.

Martin O’Neill’s side will be amongst the fourth bracket of nations in Saturday week’s draw in Paris, heightening the prospects of a similarly daunting pool to the one they were handed four years ago.

However, the Ireland assistant boss reckons the qualities displayed by the team in the latter stages of the campaign, including the play-off victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina, can provide the nation with hope heading to France.
