Not accounting for sackings / managers resigning, the following are out of contract after the Euros Sagnol (Georgia) Sylvinhio (Albania) Southgate (England) Yakin (Switzerland) Iordanescu (Romania) Albania played some lovely football the day I watched them. Based on that and nothing else, I'd take Sylvinho.  Gets paid €750K if recent figures for managers wages at the Euros is correct.

I think the landscape has changed over the last few days. Cooke probably has at least a big a say as Canham in who the next manager will be. According to journos some "Senior" FAI figures want Hughton. I think that's dead in the water as Hughton would have got back to them by now. One journo report stated Cooke is a big fan of Roy Keane. Highly unlikely to happen unless the FAI find a benefactor. Would switch the narrative for the FAI in the short term. But it still looks like O'Shea and you would be surprised by how many people (non football fans) already think O'Shea is Ireland manager. The hammering the FAI are taking will lead to a rash decision. I'm sure of it.

I thought Hughton was only ruled out by the likes of Kerr because of burnout? The time this is taking he'll be well rested and raring to have a go at another job

12 hours without an update in the manager thread!?

This thread is like mould, it just grows even when there is no activity.

But not a good manager in the modern era. It would be a disaster pointing at the fact he qualified us for one tournament over 20 years ago lacks any nuance or thought

Never forget this game; Gibraltar 0-1 Republic of Ireland: Mick McCarthy begins second spell as manager with win - BBC Sport Have to say this was one of the worst Ireland performances I can remember, I include Stan, MON and SK in that. It was his first game back, but we were so so bad.
