“I know Gus (Poyet) quite well from a good few years ago and know how he likes to play," said the Irish coach.

Ireland can expect Gus Poyet’s Greece go to all-out attack in the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifier, according to his former captain John O’Shea.

The pair will be reunited in Athens on June 16 eight years on from being manager and skipper at Sunderland, a season the Black Cats avoided the drop after Dick Advocaat succeeded the sacked Poyet.
