Trapattoni looks to future

Republic of Ireland boss Giovanni Trapattoni has claimed that he will get "revenge for Ireland" after the disappointment of Euro 2012.

Ireland finished bottom of Group C with zero points, but the 73-year-old has vowed to carry on and bring success.

"A philosopher has said that when a man has no interest, he is dead. I have a well of energy and enthusiasm far bigger than the oil wells of Libya, Saudi Arabia and countries like that," he told reporters.

"I desire to live, to learn, to train, to come up against the rest of the world. And I want to get revenge for Ireland after these Euros."

Trapattoni took charge of Ireland in 2008.
