Shay Given has declared that his former teammate Lee Carsley won’t be taking the vacant Ireland job on this occasion.

The England U-21 boss remains the FAI’s top target to replace Stephen Kenny as head coach of the national team. But Given, who played 29 internationals with Carsley, believes the 49-year-old won’t assume the role this time around, although he didn’t rule him out of becoming Ireland boss in the future.
