| Heimir Hallgrimsson | 10/07/2024 | 22/04/2025 | 286 |
The new Republic of Ireland manager is Heimir Hallgrimsson. The former Jamaica and Iceland national team boss's appointment has been met with a mixed reaction by fans and pundits. However, reports suggest that he was the FAI's number one target, which may be why it took such a long period of time. It has been eight months since former manager Stephen Kennys's contract was not renewed. If another change comes, the best betting sites will have all the next Republic of Ireland manager betting odds.

Who Could Be The Next Republic Of Ireland Manager
Prior to Hallgrimsson being appointed in July 2024 the following managers featured in the next ROI manager market. Some of these names may feature again if another change is needed.
John O'Shea
The Waterford-born O'Shea played predominately at Manchester United and Sunderland before moving into coaching. He is yet to be a full-time manager but should be regarded as having enough experience, having worked with the national team on and off since 2020.
Willie Sagnol
It would be a left-field decision if Willie Sagnol were given the ROI manager position ahead of home grown candidates. The 47-year-old is currently the boss of the Georgia national side who performed well at Euro 2024.

Lee Carsley
His rise to being an in-demand marquee coach has been stratospheric, and his betting odds as one of the favourites to be the next Republic of Ireland manager are testament to this.
He has yet to manage any football league clubs, but his success with the England Under 20 and 21 sides has alerted the bookmakers to include his name in a range of betting markets, including this one.
Anthony Barry
Anthony Barry still needs to manage a club, but his CV is packed with prestigious Assistant Manager roles. He has had spells at Bayern Munich and the Republic of Ireland, Belgian and Portuguese national teams.

Neil Lennon
He is a controversial figure, but his record as a manager is notable. He won the Scottish Premiership on five occasions and the Scottish FA Cup four times when in charge at Celtic.

Chris Coleman
Chris Coleman was the national team manager of Wales between 2012 and 2017. He guided the team to the European Championship semi-finals in 2016 before losing to eventual winners Portugal.
If the FAI wanted an experienced boss after Kenny, Coleman would fit the bill perfectly.
Chris Hughton
The former Tottenham right back is a proven manager, but his star has faded after recent appointments. He was managing the Ghana national team but was dismissed at the beginning of 2024.

The much travelled Steve Bruce has manged twelve English clubs, his last position was at West Bromwich Albion who he left in October 2022.

Roy Keane

These days, we are more used to seeing him ranting and raving (being assaulted) as a TV Pundit, but he would be a popular choice for many fans, and of all the names quoted, he has the most big-game experience.
Gus Poyet
Seems a strange inclusion for the next ROI manager but his Greece side beat the Irish in both Euro 2024 qualification games.
Kieran McKenna
The Ipswich Town manager is another candidate who has impressed. Appointed to the East Anglian club in December 2021, he guided the club to an eleventh-place finish. The following season, Ipswich gained automatic promotion to the Championship after finishing in second place behind Plymouth Argyle. The Championship was expected to be a big test, but Ipswich and their rookie manager have shown they can more than compete after securing promotion to the EPL in 2024.
