It’s fair enough that Hallgrímsson had to explain his comments on Mason Greenwood, which he did, noting it was a “political answer” to appease the Jamaican FA after they tried to tempt the former Manchester United player to declare for them.
Last April, via YouTube, Canham offered O’Shea the chance to continue as interim Irish manager against Hungary and Portugal in June. Now, in July, Hallgrímsson is publicly offering John the role of assistant coach. Would it not make sense, on both a professional and decency level, to wait for John O’Shea’s answer before throwing his name about?
Speaking of Canada, Jesse Marsch has worked instant wonders, bringing them to the Copa semi-final by implementing the Red Bull methods. Before his brief stint at Leeds United, Marsch spent six years coaching at RB New York, Salzburg and Leipzig. Austria manager Ralf Rangnick already proved that the Red Bull formula works at international level. Marsch is backing this up.
