Manager Heimir Hallgrímsson also keeps Paddy McCarthy on board with Gudmundur Hreidarsson joining up.
JOHN O’SHEA HAS accepted Heimir Hallgrímsson’s offer to become his assistant head coach with the Republic of Ireland.
Hallgrímsson confirmed at his unveiling that he wanted O’Shea to be his No.2, and after discussions over the last fortnight it is a position he will now take up ahead of the start of the Nations League in just over one month. Advertisement “Everybody knows the passion and commitment to the Irish national team I have had throughout my playing, and now, coaching career, so it was great when Heimir approached me to be part of his coaching set-up,” O’Shea said.
Hallgrímsson admitted that it “takes a good character” to consider returning to the role of assistant after taking charge on an interim basis and it’s a boost ahead of the upcoming Nations League campaign that the full coaching ticket has now been arranged.
