Reports indicate that former Ireland international Robbie Keane is close to being named the new manager of Hungarian champions Ferencvaros. Keane is expected to be officially announced tomorrow and will oversee a training camp in Spain. This appointment would see Keane replace Pascal Jansen, who left Ferencvaros for New York City in Major League Soccer.
Gavin Cooney ROBBIE KEANE IS set to be announced as the new manager of Hungarian champions Ferencvaros .
If Keane is appointed, he will replace Dutchman Pascal Jansen, who left the club at the end of 2024 to take charge at New York City in Major League Soccer. Jansen leaves Ferencvaros in a strong position, second in the league but a single point off the league leaders, and with a game in hand. They are also in line to progress to the first knockout round of the Europa League, as they rank 16th in the 36-team table with two games remaining.
Keane faced some criticism in Ireland for continuing to work in Tel Aviv after Israel launched a war on Gaza, in reprise to the Hamas attacks of 7 October. “We were winning the league, they hadn’t won it in three years; we were in Europe and doing very, very well”, said Keane.
