Lee Carsley not expected to take Ireland job, as saga to replace Stephen Kenny continues

Despite suggestions that the England U21 boss was back in contention, it’s understood he has reaffirmed his commitment to the English FA.

LEE CARSLEY IS not expected to take the Republic of Ireland manager’s job, as the saga to find Stephen Kenny’s replacement continues.

The 42 understands that the 50-year-old has reaffirmed his commitment to the English FA and will stay in charge for their U21s’ upcoming European Championship qualifying campaign.

Reports suggested that Carsley was back in the frame to become Kenny’s permanent successor after FAI director of football Marc Canham explained at yesterday’s unveiling of interim head coach John O’Shea that an appointment would be confirmed in early April as they had to respect “existing contractual obligations.”

England have their opening two games later this month before a break in the campaign until later in the year.

However, Carsley is not due to take the reins with Ireland and will remain in situ.

Canham yesterday stated the FAI were closing in on an appointment.

“The process of the appointment of the permanent new head coach is very close to the end, nearing the end-point, and we look forward to announcing that new permanent head coach in early-April,” he said.

“Existing contractual obligations mean we are not in a position to announce any further details on this point, but as we have committed to, we will announce that in early April.”

O’Shea is taking charge for the games against Belgium on Saturday 23 March and Switzerland on Tuesday 26 March.

    I LOVE Taylor Swift. Supremely talented and an upstanding role model for young girls to aspire to especially compared to some of the thrash out there.

    Is there a point to all these top level TLD’s that ICANN are adding, beyond serving as a way to extort money from people who don’t want a domain popping up that casts them in an negative light. Because if there is, so far I haven’t seen it.

    Clever woman. Probably find she has also bought up a lot of the variables of the name as well.
    Still very unfortunate name thought.

    Ohh. I never realised that she was a real person.
    I thought that she was just another product from a money hungry US corporation.

    she would be well down the list of scrawny blondes I would want to see naked. I really dislike her look, her lyrics and songs, I cant think of anything good to say about her.
