Robbie Keane has produced a shock by taking up the manager's job at Maccabi Tel Aviv.
The Irishman had been keen to get into coaching and has decided to take up an opening at Israel's most successful outfit. Maccabi Tel Aviv, who have won the league title 23 times, recently parted company with former Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka.
They have now turned to Keane, who was recently working at Leeds under Sam Allardyce, albeit for a short while as they tried and failed to keep the Whites in the Premier League. Prior to that, he's been an assistant with the Republic of Ireland and at Middlesbrough, where Karanka was previously in charge.
