It's reported Roy Keane is set to make a comeback to Irish football - he's due to become the new Ireland assistant manager.
It is expected that Keane will join part of Martin O'Neill's backroom team.
The FAI is due to make a formal announcement next week.
Former Ireland manager Mick McCarthy was thought to be O'Neill's main rival for the job.
However, the Ipswich manager appeared to concede last night that he wouldn't be returning.
