The Republic of Ireland legend believes the FAI should keep Brian Kerr in a permanent role beyond this week's friendlies with Belgium and Switzerland.
Republic of Ireland legend Richard Dunne is “thrilled” to see Brian Kerr back working for the FAI and hopes his interim role is made permanent in the coming weeks.
While O’Shea has won five Premier League titles and a Champions League in a glittering playing career, he’s a novice in the managerial game and Saturday’s clash with Belgium at the Aviva Stadium will be his first game ever managing senior players. With this in mind, Dunne feels Kerr’s plethora of experience will massively benefit the new interim boss.“I’m thrilled . He’s got so much to offer.
That could well open the door for O’Shea if the next two matches go well. But regardless of who eventually is hired, Dunne feels Kerr has to remain involved and that the FAI can’t make the same mistake of letting a man of his experience slip through the cracks.
