The reign of Martin O’Neill and Roy Keane as Ireland management team has ended. After five years which included plenty of highs and also some lows, the Irish national team is set for a new manager with Euro 2020 qualifiers just around the corner. As always, there was plenty of reaction on Twitter, particularly to the news that Mick McCarthy looks like the frontrunner for the job.
As an Irish fan, I’d love the FAI to go all out for Chris Hughton. But as a player trying to get into the squad, I’d love if they gave it to my Dad

1/2 I didn’t expect Martin to leave as manager. Although we’ve had a very difficult year in terms of results, I’ll balance that with the amount of players that have just started their international career. I would’ve been very confident ...

Replace the word 'Dundalk' with the word 'Ireland' every time he says it and this interview still works https://t.co/1W8o4I2eEB

2/2 ...in qualifying under Martin and still am with the group of players we have. On a personal note I have the upmost respect for Martin as he is and always has been fantastic for me
