'Could be an option' - Roy Keane responds to Jamie Carragher's remark on Republic of Ireland job
Chelsea legend Frank Lampard was a guest on this week's episode of Stick to Football on The Overlap
One of the major talking points in Irish football at the moment is the vacant Republic of Ireland men's managerial position.
Several names have been suggested since Stephen Kenny's departure last November following a disappointing Euro 2024 qualifying campaign.
According to reports, Lee Carsley is the current FAI frontrunner while former Celtic boss Neill Lennon and ex-Brighton manager Chris Hughton, who was sacked by Ghana after their AFCON exit, have been linked to the position.
"It's got to be the right challenge," the former Manchester United captain said on the Stick to Football series on The Overlap before Jamie Carragher brought up the Ireland job (19 minutes into the podcast).
"I'd like to get back into it [management], but I'm not desperate.
"I enjoyed international football when I was a coach [with Ireland]. I liked the dynamics of it when I was coaching with Martin O'Neill. We had a little bit of success which was brilliant and obviously, there were disappointments.
Keane is currently 20/1 on the bookmakers' list of candidates for the Irish job while Carsley is the leading favourite at 4/6.
