While the current crop of Republic of Ireland stars are gearing up for their Nations League clash with Denmark, one of the country's legends showed that he has still got it.
Roy Keane, now Republic of Ireland assistant manager, was out with the team on Friday kicking a ball about in training.
The 47-year-old was a picture of happiness on the training pitch as he controlled a ball and played a pass with a smile on his face at their Dublin base.
Keane and manager Martin O'Neill then got back to work as they oversaw training - which key personnel James McClean, Jeff Hendrick and Shane Long all took part in.
Republic of Ireland host Denmark at the Aviva Stadium before facing Wales at the same venue on Tuesday in a UEFA Nations League double header.
Keane is under contract with the FAI until the end of the Euro 2020 qualifiers but has admitted that he fancies a return to club management 'soon' - providing the challenge 'rocks his boat.'
'This idea I'd be looking at a club and thinking, "I fancy that one" - I don't work that way, I don't network,' he said as per the Mirror.
'I just focus on the job in hand and that's a big one with Ireland. But hopefully soon I'd like to become a manager again.
'It's just getting that offer and challenge that will rock my boat.
'I'd be realistic, it's hardly going to be a Premier League offer, realistically in the Championship. But there are a lot of brilliant clubs there.
'There's no doubt in my mind that I could go in there and get a club promoted, with the right support. It would depend on the club and the people involved.'
