Plenty on the line for John O’Shea as interim boss looks to bring a sense of purpose to Republic of Ireland side that needs clarity.
David Sneyd PORTUGAL AND HUNGARY are heading to Euro 2024 so it makes perfect sense for them to fit in a warm-up date with the Republic of Ireland as part of their preparations for the tournament in Germany.There is no permanent manager in place to build towards the start of the Nations League in September and a sense of drift pervades.
When that April deadline to appoint a manager was then missed, it emerged former Greece boss Gus Poyet turned the role down while his Georgia counterpart Willy Sagnol was also reportedly in the frame. Canham also publicly stated in that interview that he wanted O’Shea to be interim boss before he had accepted it, and the Ireland centurion admitted it was not a chance he was going to turn down.

It’s something I’ve loved and as I’ve mentioned it’s something I’ll continue hopefully along the way after these two games.
