Former Sunderland and Manchester United defenderShea s John O’ays he would ‘love’ to manage the club, but admits he has reservations over the club’s recruitment strategy.
O’Shea is currently interim Republic of Ireland boss, and could yet take charge of their international fixtures in June as the search for Stephen Kenny’s permanent successor continues. O’Shea has made clear his management ambitions since leaving his role as coach at Birmingham City shortly after the arrival of Tony Mowbray.
O’Shea appeared on the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast with Sam Allardyce, and was asked if he would be interested in the vacancy on Wearside. The 42-year-old made clear that he would be, but says he feels the club need more experience in the squad if they are to compete for promotion in future seasons.
