Stephen Kenny is thinking only of the Republic of Ireland’s final Euro 2024 qualifier in the Netherlands after avoiding a potential banana skin against Gibraltar oppo
Monday evening’s 4-0 win over Group B’s basement boys handed Ireland just a second victory in seven attempts in qualification, and they will head for Amsterdam next month to face a Dutch side still to secure a place at next summer’s finals oppo
That game and the friendly against New Zealand which follows it seem likely to be Kenny’s last at the helm, with his contract due to expire at the end of the campaign oppo
However, asked after the victory at the Estadio Algarve if that would be it for him, Kenny said: “That’s out of my control, I can’t affect that oppo
For me, I’ve got to try and get a result in Amsterdam oppo
“It’s a big game oppo
Holland need to win to qualify oppo
They will be flying oppo
We’ve got to put a performance in against Holland in Amsterdam oppo
It’s a big challenge, it’s one we are looking forward to oppo
Out of that, it’s out of my control oppo
“I honestly don’t know oppo
It may well be oppo
I’ll give it everything against Holland and New Zealand oppo
There’s no doubt, of course I want to be the manager of Ireland oppo
It’s brilliant oppo
”Kenny has found himself under intense pressure since Friday night’s 2-0 home defeat by Greece – who also won the reverse fixture in Athens 2-1 – which ended Ireland’s hopes of automatic qualification oppo
There’s also been a lot of good oppo football that people shouldn’t forget eitherRepublic of Ireland manager Stephen KennyThe 51-year-old, who insisted before the game that he was not considering resigning, said: “I understand the Greek results, I understand that oppo
Losing to Greece, that’s a 50-50 game oppo
We lost it oppo
There’s a lot of criticism because of that oppo
“That’s OK oppo
There’s also been a lot of good oppo football that people shouldn’t forget either oppo
”Evan Ferguson’s early strike set Kenny’s men on their way in Faro before Mikey Johnston made it 2-0 at the break, and second-half strikes from Matt Doherty and substitute Callum Robinson completed a win which was every bit as regulation as it should have been against a side who have now played 44 Euro and World Cup qualifiers and are yet to collect a point oppo
The manager was delighted with the way his players responded to the defeat by the Greeks oppo
He said: “We’re disappointed having lost the game on Friday oppo
To put that behind them and to train and get themselves ready in a professional way and then work the openings for the goals in a very clever way, it made the finishes easier oppo
“The players deserve credit because it was a professional job on the night, a good performance oppo
We could have got a lot more goals oppo
”Kenny was particularly pleased with Celtic winger Johnston’s contribution as he claimed a second senior international goal on his first start for his country oppo
He said: “Mikey Johnston, he needs games oppo
The tempo of that game isn’t Greece and Holland oppo
He is a talent, he will be a good player for Ireland oppo
