Brian Kerr: I believe Lee Carsley won't be taking the Ireland job
Ex-Republic of Ireland manager Brian Kerr believes that current England under-21 boss Lee Carsley "won't be taking the Ireland job".
Former Ireland international Carsley, has been heavily touted as the FAI's top target for the role most recently occupied by Stephen Kenny, who departed in November of last year.
Kerr is of the mind that Carsley - who made 40 appearances in green - will not take up an offer from the FAI hierarchy, given the loyalty he has to his current role within the English FA.
"I believe that Lee Carsley won't be taking the job," Kerr said, speaking on Virgin Media's Champions League offering. "I suspect one of the reasons why Lee wouldn't take it is... from what I know of him, he is a very loyal and principled fella.
"I believe [that] he wouldn't break the current deal he has with the English FA at the moment, because that's the sort of fella he is."
"That's one of the reasons he has a high reputation around the game."
