There's plenty of good young foreign coaches out there, I'd hate if we went for an unadventurous appointment if there were better coaches available just because "he's Irish"

After Lille`s gig , it could be Marcelo Bielsa, if you make a poll he is gonna be in the preferences,... El Loco, fancies to manage the underdogs.... and he gives the youngsters some chances ...

I wouldn't want him to get it, but Lennon probably should have made the short list.Even David O'Leary almost made it, but lost out narrowly to random French bloke. |

Normally I would agree but unless we are getting somebody of a very high calibre we would be better off sticking to someone who knows the British and Irish game , this time around at least. For 2020 we will have another few key retirees in forward positions and we might need someone to be picking out gems in the lower divisions and hoping they can fill the void, unless one or two lads decide to declare for us. As for Lennon; no chance. Since he has left Celtic it has been very up and down and this year he has achieved the bare minimum playing awful football in a weak division, of course a win tomorrow makes the season look very good indeed but he will be taking them up with less points then the got for coming third last year.Next year will be a big one for him, Hibs will be expecting to be in and around the European spots and competing with Hearts, anything less than that, even with another cup win, and he won't be there in 12 months. I don't think international management would suit his personality anyway, he seems to be the type of guy who very much enjoys the daily routine of club football. I think international management, in general, suits an old, experienced head.

Assuming Hughton is in the EPL at Brighton when the vacancy arises, to suggest he would swap that to manage Ireland is not even a remote possibility. There are very few obvious candidates, I wonder if a Roy and Robbie double act is a possibility. My choice would be Mick.

Hughton did a a great job with Newcastle and Brighton ,If he keeps Brighton up next season he might be off to a bigger club, could be an ideal man for the job.

Agreed. I think most have voted in the poll for who they want to get it and not who they think will get it. If we qualify for Russia and then MON leaves after the finals, the only way Hughton will be available is if Brighton have been relegated/started disastrously and have sacked him, and as someone said earlier then his stock will have fallen.The keane double act could certainly be interesting. I like others said would really like to see us play good football as the last time an Ireland team did was probably in 2002 under Mick? We played some good stuff under Brian Kerr with Andy Reid pulling the strings in midfield, but not enough as Kerr was much too negative in his one campaign. Good football is probably the one thing that would be guaranteed under Stephen Kenny, but his lack of top level experience and the risky nature of his appointment is probably too much. Still surprised he's got no votes. If the poll had taken place just after Dundalk went out of Europe, or before the start of the domestic season I think that would be different.

That it should and will happen. He has served his time under O,Neil and matured- he has done a good job and deserves to take over if he keeps going. As I say though long way to go. |

Lars Lagerback?
He's already been successful (relatively) in international football with Sweden and Iceland and I doubt he was on the sort of euros MON and Keane are. He's just after joining Norway but they are pretty much out of the running for qualification already |

If Martin O'Neill did leave after this campaign, I think Roy Keane would be the easiest transition into the role as manager because he knows the set up, he knows the current players available to him very well since he has worked with them for over four years, importantly he understands the passion and pride playing for Ireland which is a big thing about us . Plus he would have a good idea of whats available to him in merging young players because he would have gone to watch most them play already from his scouting matches for Ireland anyway. He could be good for getting a few players with dual nationality on board with his stature in the game from his playing career? I really think he would need a good number two with him tho. I'd have Robbie Keane part of the coaching staff for now, not his number two as he's doesn't have the experience yet.
