Roy Keane has hinted that he may quit his role as Republic of Ireland assistant manager after Euro 2016 to return to club management.
Ireland secured their place in the finals in France next summer with a 2-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina in Dublin on Monday thanks to two goals from Jonathan Walters.
Keane, who agreed to become Martin O'Neill's assistant in November 2013, revealed that while he loves his role for the national side, he will meet with O'Neill to discuss his future in the upcoming weeks as he is keen for a return to management at club level.
"I am going to meet Martin in the next couple of weeks to have a chat and to see where he stands," he told The Mirror. "He knows that I still have that ambition to get back in the ring but I also love my role with Ireland.
"I am not really one for networking or applying for jobs but I enjoy my role here. I certainly want to stay on for the Euros and then play it by ear.
"Stuff has come up but I have always been very focused on this job. We will have a look at it in the next few months. Will this get me back in the window? I don't know. Working with Martin, the players, the FAI, everyone deserves great credit."
Keane's last managerial role was at Ipswich Town from 2009-2011, although he had a brief spell as Paul Lambert's assistant at Aston Villa in 2014.
