McCarthy and Keane to end feud

Wolves boss Mick McCarthy has insisted he will shake hands with Sunderland manager Roy Keane when the two clubs meet in a Coca-Cola Championship clash at Molineux on Friday evening.

McCarthy was manager of the Republic of Ireland when he had an infamous bust-up with Keane during the 2002 World Cup finals in Japan and South Korea.

Keane retired from international football and only returned once McCarthy had ended his reign as manager.

But McCarthy claims the pair have ended their feud and that there will be no ill feeling when they come face to face on the touchline.

McCarthy told Beacon Radio: “Four years on I was man enough to make a call to Roy Keane recently and he was gracious enough to take it.

“We both did what we thought was right at the time during the 2002 World Cup and we have made our peace with each other.

“There will be a handshake and we will get on with it.”
