Former France Full-Back Willy Sagnol Favored for Ireland Manager Role as European Championship Playoff Action Heats Up

As the European Championship playoff games kick off in Tbilisi, all eyes are on former France full-back Willy Sagnol, who is currently leading Georgia against Luxembourg. Sagnol, a top contender, remains the favorite among bookmakers to take over the managerial role for the Republic of Ireland, succeeding Stephen Kenny.

Another strong candidate for the Ireland managerial position is Gus Poyet, who is set to manage Greece in their match against Kazakhstan later today. Meanwhile, Wales is preparing to face off against Finland in Cardiff this evening, eager to secure a place in this summer’s finals. In the same group, the Poland national team is up against Estonia.
