Ireland endured back to back defeats in the latest international window.
Brian Kerry has blasted Stephen Kenny after Ireland suffered back-to-back defeats in the latest international window.
The Ireland boss has been a polarising figure over the last 18 months after failing to impress and many feel the clock is ticking about his future.Speaking on Virgin Media Sport, he said: "Three games to go and we're scrambling to not be second last or last in the group and unfortunately the case now through Stephen's reign in four qualifications, he mentioned Serbia and Portugal last night but he didn't mention Luxembourg.
"We're all passionate about Irish football, passion didn't just come with Stephen Kenny as the manager. We all want to see the team doing really well but we want the team to be in contention until the second last or last match and if you don't quite make it there are consequences that a manager may lose his job. It's happened to several of us.
"It's about getting results the best way we can. Everyone wants to play beautiful football, every manager wants to play nice football but sometime you have to be pragmatic and realistic and to mix up the style so it's effective enough to get you results."
