'The boss is the boss, it's very simple' - Ireland assistant O'Shea defends Hallgrimsson call to skip media duties

O'Shea stated, "No fear at all. The boss is the boss and there are clear lines on that...the players know that. The meetings that were coming across, the plans in place...For me personally, it's clear from the staff's point of view and the players point of view." This reassures the team's understanding of their roles amidst managerial changes.

In response to criticisms, O'Shea emphasized that Hallgrimsson's absence was a planned strategy to allow him to focus on preparation time due to the quick game turnaround, asserting, "This plan was in place beforehand and it's obviously to give the boss as much time in terms of preparation." This highlights their strategic approach.
