Former Blues boss Roy Keane is in the running to become the new national coach of Iceland, according to reports in their newspapers this morning. Keane has been out of work since being sacked by Town in January.

The 40-year-old, who was in action for Manchester United at the Masters Grand Final yesterday, is said to have already held talks with the Icelandic FA and is set to watch Tuesday’s Euro 2012 qualifier against Cyprus in Reykjavik.

Former Crystal Palace and Reading boss Steve Coppell and ex-Sweden manager Lars Lagerbäck have also been linked with the position currently occupied by Ólafur Jóhannesson but who leaves the role next month.

Garv added 15:35 - Sep 5 Can't believe Roy is receiving this treatment, Roy tried his best here but it didn't work out for Roy and Roy has moved on. Sorry for a moment I thought I was Jas0999. Roy.

kiddi added 15:56 - Sep 5 I don´t think he could do much worse than our current manager, 1-3 points from the last 15 or so games, but I don´t think there´s any truth in the story that Roy Keane or Steve Coppell are being linked with the Iceland job, it´s more likely that we´ll have a simultanious eruption from Eyjafjallajokull and Kalta volcanos than either one of them coming here. 7,9,13

jas0999 added 17:22 - Sep 5 Reading these comments, it's clear that people are deluded. 1-7, 2-5, 1-4, 2-4, 1-5, 0-3; just some of the results PJ has delivered in the past 11 games! Oh and beaten by Nortampton as well! Roy was rightly sacked, but how people can be pleased with what PJ has delivered recently is beyond me.

Bleedingblue added 18:57 - Sep 5 Apparenly Iceland are doing quite well these days. Didn't they steal loads of money off our councils? Would be the ultimate kick in teeth if the paid Roy the boy with that. Only a rumour anyway me thinks!
