Former Ireland boss Mick McCarthy is set for a return to management after Cyprus outfit Apoel confirmed they have opened discussions with the 61-year-old.

McCarthy has been out of work since April after the FAI opted to accelerate the succession plan with Stephen Kenny due to Covid-19 deferring the Euro 2021 play-off against Slovakia by six months.
