Roy Keane has been out of frontline management since leaving Ipswich in January 2011 and has served as an assistant at Aston Villa, with Ireland and at Nottingham Forest. Keane expressed continued interest in returning to management and identified Damien Duff as a potential coaching partner, noting Duff's coaching background, time at Celtic, and his League of Ireland title with Shelbourne. Keane acknowledged selective approach to offers, emphasizing self-worth and the need for the right challenge, club and contract. Keane suggested a complementary partnership dynamic, describing Duff as the more hard-edged figure in a potential pairing.
"He's done a good job in Ireland, and he's just left a job," said Keane. "It's his dynamics; the way he speaks, the way he comes across. "Duffer's been up at Celtic, he's done his coaching with Ireland. He won the league with Shelbourne last year, but then he just left recently."
"He'd be the bad cop and I'd be the good cop," added Keane with a wry smile on the latest Stick To Football podcast.
"I've had opportunities, but sometimes you get offered a contract and you have to look at it with self-worth, is it the right deal for you? I'd like to go back in (to management), but I'm not desperate to sign any contract for anybody," he stated. "It's not like you're going to get the Real Madrid job, but it's got to be the right challenge, the right club, and the right contract."
