Ian Harte has expressed his delight at Giovanni Trapattoni's departure as Republic of Ireland manager.
The 35-year-old Bournemouth defender branded the Italian a "clown" back in February after he failed to receive a call-up for a friendly against Poland.
Hart has made 63 appearances for Ireland following his international debut in 1996.Delighted to hear the news.. #Comeonyouboysingreen #trappout 🎉🎉🎉
