Republic of Ireland to face Poland in friendly

The Republic of Ireland have announced that they are to play a friendly against Poland next month.

The two nations, who are both looking to appoint a new manager, will meet in Poznan on November 19.

The Football Association of Ireland are in the process of appointing Giovanni Trapattoni's successor, while Waldemar Fornalik was sacked following the Poles' loss to England earlier this week.

The teams met earlier this year in Dublin, where the home side secured a 2-0 win.
