Martin O'Neill hasn't confirmed or denied if he's interested in the Ireland job but certainly has NOT ruled himself out of the running.
The former European cup winning player says he has had no contact from the F.A.I about replacing Giovanni Trapattoni as Ireland boss but admits he's keen to get back into management.
The former Leicester , Celtic and Aston Villa manager hasn't managed since leaving Sunderland last season.
The 61 year old has always done well with smaller clubs leading Leicester to two League cup titles and Celtic to a UEFA cup final where Jose Mourinho’s FC Porto were shall we say keen to go to ground.
Norwich manager and former Ireland international Chris Hughton has also been linked with the position and although he's flattered he doesn't seem interested.
Could Mick McCarthy return?, in an interview with Sky Sports he praised the job Trap has done but didn't comment on whether or not he was interested.
Ipswich have won just one of their opening five Championship fixtures this season.
Lets hear what O'Neill had to say to BBC when asked about the job but first you can listen to Norwich boss Chris Hughton politely (as always) ruling himself out of the running with the nicest thanks but no thanks you'll ever hear.
