The current Irish assistant manager brushed off criticism from one of his predecessors in the role.
Keith Andrews and Roy Keane. Keith Andrews and Roy Keane. ONCE UPON A time the guaranteed drama of an Irish international week came not on the pitch but in the midweek press conference. That was when the FAI would give Martin O’Neill a break from media duties and wheel out his assistant Roy Keane.That doesn’t happen these days: the Irish team are entertaining on the grass, while the assistant manager has taken a far more reserved role.
“So, no, it didn’t affect me. When you go into a new job players pretty quickly suss you out, if you are not up to the level. So in terms of the preparation going into it was obviously of a high level.” “That was their bag. This is our regime and this is how we see fit to put things into place and hopefully we can just continue to work and continue building to keep that momentum going.”
Andrews first began working with Kenny at U21 level, and stepped up with him at senior level while Jim Crawford stayed put to take the managerial reigns from Kenny. They didn’t know each other very well prior to working together, and this working relationship blossomed when Kenny rang to ask for a chat over coffee.
