‘Stephen Kenny doesn’t set the bar at being average’

Dundalk goalkeeper Gary Rogers has backed old boss Stephen Kenny to be a huge success as Republic of Ireland manager.

“Stephen will do a terrific job,” said the 38-year-old. “All you need to do is look at his track record from what we did at Dundalk right through to the U21s where he came in and very quickly put his stamp on things. They’ve been playing some of the best football that Irish U21 teams have ever played, that shows some of his capabilities and the way he wants to do things.”
