Flores to stay at Espanyol; Martin O’Neill’s Ireland future in doubt again

Both O’Neill and the FAI have so far refused to comment on the increasing speculation in the last few days.

Martin O’Neill’s future as Republic of Ireland manager is again under question after Stoke City missed out on their first choice for their new manager.

Quique Sanchez Flores was expected to take over, but he announced this morning that he will not be leaving his role as Espanyol boss.
