Dundalk-born former Liverpool and Aston Villa defender Steve Staunton is anxious for a return to management.
The former Republic of Ireland captain managed his country from January 2006 to October 2007, which was followed by a brief and unsuccessful stint in charge of Darlington.
However, the experience of those two roles hasn’t dampened his appetite for a job in management as he told BT Sport’s Life’s A Pitch last night that a managerial career still appeals to him.
“I would love to. I’m mad enough to do it,” he said.
Staunton also said it was good to see Roy Keane back involved with Ireland and said he hoped it worked out for him and Martin O’Neill.
