Lee Carsley believes Stephen Kenny is doing a good job as Republic of Ireland manager ”under tough circumstances” and admits becoming the Irish boss in the future has not crossed his mind.

Speaking to RTÉ 2’s sports radio show Game On, Carsley, who recently led the England U21s to European glory without conceding a single goal, has been linked with the top job in Irish football should the FAI decide to part company with Kenny.
