Séamus Coleman will be delegated to lead a couple of managerial meetings in next week’s camp as the veteran’s transition from player to coach takes its first steps.

Heimir Hallgrímsson has retained the 38-year-old in his delegation for the upcoming double-header against Austria and Kosovo but in a hybrid role that is firstly leadership with the slight chance of participation on the field.
