O'Leary intrested in Ireland job
Aston Villa manager David O'Leary has today said that he would be keen on the Ireland job after he has fufilled his club duties. Ireland are currently on the lookout for a new man at the helm after it was revealed they would not be renewing Brian Kerr's contract following their failure to qualify for next summer's World Cup finals. O'Leary, who won 68 caps for his country, is currently focusing his efforts on pushing Aston Villa up the table and is not looking to leave the club.
"I would be interested in an international job, definitely, but a lot further on down the line from at present," explained O'Leary. "We'd all love to manage our own country eventually and I hope, when you get all the club stuff out of the way, that it might happen. "Hopefully, you'd be asked which would be a great honour. If I was asked, then I'd love to do it further down the line but there are things to achieve at club level first."
I would say O'Leary would be a pretty decent Ireland manager because he has done pretty well at some clubs. Ireland are on the look out for a new manager and I would say that they would like an Irish manager to fill the post so O'Leary would be perfect replacement for Kerr.
