DAMIEN DUFF SAYS becoming Republic of Ireland manager does not interest him and his only ambition right now is to win silverware with Shelbourne.
Duff has taken Shels to the top of the League of Ireland Premier Division and could deliver the club’s first top flight title in 18 years. He was outspoken earlier this week about the FAI’s handling of appointing a permanent manager as well as the future of John O’Shea who was named in interim charge for a second time ahead of next month’s friendlies with Hungary and Portugal.
“No, it would drive me insane. Here, I had the eight, nine months with Stephen and you’re in an office everyday doing nothing. Just pottering around. Here, I love a siesta, going back to bed. No, there is nothing better than going in and being with the players, our players. “Are you really building a bond? Nah, you build bonds on Friday nights here in Ireland, Monday nights. In England Saturday afternoon. It doesn’t interest me whatsoever because I’m learning too much at the moment.”Out now on Episode with Richie Sadlier 🌳🛖https://t.co/DotTFCt6cI pic.twitter.com/gKZZeBbcAD
