Roy Keane competition on - Turkish club Kasimpasa and Blackburn Rovers both in the running former Sunderland and Ipswich boss

Cork footballer weighing up his options before making big decision

“Istanbul is a magnificent place to live and work. The people were so friendly to me and my wife and daughter during my years there and I believe the city has got so much better since. I had a fantastic time.

“We know Roy’s time at Ipswich didn’t end all that well and he’ll be wanting to get stuck back in. I don’t see it as being a strange move. He wants to manage and this opportunity has arisen.”
