Sanchez 'To Be Interviewed' For Ireland Football Job
Former Northern Ireland manager Lawrie Sanchez is reportedly to be interviewed for the position of Republic of Ireland manager.
BBC Sport has reported that the 48-year-old, who was sacked as manager of Premier League side Fulham last month, is expected to meet with the FAI panel set up to search for a replacement for Steve Staunton.
Sanchez began his managerial career as player-manager for Sligo Rovers in 1994, leading them to the semi-final of the 1995 FAI Cup in his first season, before becoming reserve team manager at Wiimbledon and moving to manage Wycombe Wanderers in 1999.
Sanchez was appointed manager of Northern Ireland in January 2004 and he guided them to the top slot of their Euro 2008 qualification group and to a world ranking of 33 (from a previous ranking of 124th) by the time he left the position in May last year.
