Robbie Keane has landed his first managerial role after Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv confirmed this morning that the Ireland legend has signed a two-year deal.
Keane, 42, was a member of Sam Allardyce's management team that failed in their late bid to keep Leeds United in the Premier League last season, and prior to that spent a year working with former Leeds team-mate Jonathan Woodgate at Middlesbrough in the 2019-20 season.
The Dubliner was in Mick McCarthy's Ireland backroom team during his second stint in charge between 2018 and 2020, and he remained on the FAI's payroll until the end of his contract last summer despite current Ireland boss Stephen Kenny's decision not to retain his services.
