As we may have mentioned once or twice on social media this week, joining Richie on today’s show is a very old friend and an up and coming League of Ireland manager by the name of Damien Duff. 

Speaking the morning after Shelbourne’s 0-2 win over Shamrock Rovers in Tallaght, Damien explains how he had to change his approach to the job after the anger that fueled him began to impact his personal life, how it still takes up most of his waking hours, and why he’s not looking beyond management in the League of Ireland.


 
He also tells Richie why he thinks John O’Shea should step away from the interim Ireland job and what an embarrassment the FAI’s approach to recruiting a new manager has been.
