Frank Stapleton is hoping to become the Republic of Ireland's new manager. The former Manchester United striker revealed he has had a preliminary interview for the job. The Irish are looking for a successor to Mick McCarthy, who resigned in the wake of the defeat by Switzerland last October. Stapleton told BBC radio: "I had an interview with Bryan Hamilton, who is working with the Football Association of Ireland. "His job is to whittle it down within the next week, I believe, and he will then take his findings back to the FAI. "We are all waiting to hear, waiting by the phone. "I am passionate about the Irish team but maybe the one thing against me is probably that I have not managed in the Premiership." Stapleton, who managed Bradford City, scored 20 goals in 71 appearances for the Republic of Ireland. | See also: 12 Jan 03 | Republic of Ireland 19 Nov 02 | Republic of Ireland 15 Dec 02 | Republic of Ireland Top Republic of Ireland stories now: Links to more Republic of Ireland stories are at the foot of the page. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
