Carsley met with the FAI in November but says talks did not progress any further.
Gavin Cooney LEE CARSLEY HAS officially ruled himself out of the running to be the next Ireland boss.
The 42 reported last month that Carsley was not the FAI’s identified candidate, and he has now confirmed so himself. “We had an initial conversation in November,’ Carsley told Mail Sport. ‘I went to speak to them. Really informal, enjoyable, for around an hour. It went no further. ‘I’ve always said that I’m really privileged to do this job I’m in. I appreciate that I’m in a really good position with a lot of responsibility.’
