O'Leary looks for Republic involvement
David O'Leary has ruled himself out of the Republic of Ireland manager's job. The former Arsenal and Leeds defender, who won 68 international caps with the Republic, said: "I was invited to go along for an interview but I declined. I felt that there were enough people going for it. I think it is a job for an older man." But the 37-year-old O'Leary did leave the door open to involve himself in the Republic set-up. "Maybe if they appointed somebody that I liked and if they wanted me to go in and help them as a No 2, similar to England with Bryan Robson, then I could be interested."
