Roy Keane wants to return to "hot seat" as football manager

Keane eyes return to management

Roy Keane has revealed that he wants to return to football management in the future following previous stints at Sunderland and Ipswich Town.

The Irishman currently splits his duties as assistant to Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert and Republic of Ireland boss Martin O'Neill.

"It's dangerous to look too far ahead but I think, ultimately, I do see myself getting back into the hot seat because part of me does miss that, making them crunch decisions," Keane told RTE Sport.

"Whether it's being undecided about a player, tactics, the travelling, days off. I'd like to think that Martin, and Paul at Villa, are taking my opinion on board but I know, deep down, they are making the final decision, and they get more money."

Keane released his latest autobiography, The Second Half, on Thursday.
