Martin O’Neill and Roy Keane leave Ireland roles

Thursday, 22 November 2018 07:00

Manager Martin O’Neill and assistant Roy Keane have left their roles for the Republic of Ireland national team.

The duo took on the positions in 2013 and guided the Republic to the last 16 of the 2016 European Championship.

However, they did not win a competitive game in 2018 and were relegated from Uefa Nations League Group B4.

Football Association of Ireland (FAI) chief John Delaney said: "I thank Martin, Roy, and the management team for the impact they had.

"There have been many highlights during Martin's reign - none more so than Euro 2016 in France, which will live long in the memory of all Irish supporters."
