‘It’s a good time to take the job now, there’s been a rebuilding job done,’ says former Ireland manager Stephen Kenny
Stephen Kenny says he does not accept that prospective candidates for the Ireland job are being turned off by the thought of working with the squad he has left behind.
As the FAI’s hunt for his replacement goes on, Kenny is adamant that the quality of players in the dressing room should be helping to attract a new man rather than complicating the search.
