Roy Keane stuns Martin O’Neill as Man United legend opens up on surprising career highlight Roy Keane has called his time as the Republic of Ireland’s assistant manager the highlight of his football career. The Manchester United legend won everything at club level during his 17 years as a player, before taking to the dugout as a coach after hanging up his boots in 2006.After spells as manager of Sunderland and Ipswich, Keane then joined Martin O\'Neill\'s coaching setup with the Republic of Ireland between 2013 and 2018, where he served as assistant boss. This proved to be a successful period, as the Irishman helped his country to qualify for Euro 2016, while they suffered defeat in the playoffs to make the 2018 World Cup. And it\'s fair to say that Keane enjoyed this time, so much so in fact that he has called it his ultimate footballing experience.Appearing on The Overlap\'s Stick to Football podcast alongside his former boss O\'Neill,
