The Shelbourne manager cannot wait to meet new Ireland boss Heimir Hallgrímsson
Damien Duff has described the appointment of Heimir Hallgrímsson as “fascinating” and “brilliant” - and he says he would love to meet the new Ireland manager.
“I remember watching against Argentina it was 0-0 , I think they missed a pen, so absolutely organised.“I’ll find it absolutely fascinating. I would have loved to have gone up and given him a hug after the game, but he probably bounced off.” “Ah brilliant, fair play, I love that. The thing about him, I believe him when he says he’s going to live in Ireland,” he said, before appearing to aim a dig at former FAI CEO Jonathan Hill.
Continuing on the subject of Hallgrímsson’s pledge, Duff said: “Yeah, it’s commitment, that’s all it is. It’s absolutely as simple as that. No other reasons or words describe it. Duff said he was happy with the 2-1 scoreline, even though it took them until the 58th minute to add to Mark Coyle’s opener after just 28 seconds.
