Stephen Kenny in search for new assistant manager as John ... (Independent.ie)

Stephen Kenny is on the look-out for another coach after John Eustace was appointed as the new manager of Birmingham City.

Neither of those scenarios came to pass and Eustace duly left his post with QPR but his name immediately entered the frame for the Birmingham post when Lee Bowyer exited and he has swiftly arrived on a three-year deal. The well regarded coach was viewed within the English game as a manager in waiting and was in the frame for the Watford job as well as the QPR gig when they let Mark Warburton go. He was assistant coach at QPR when Barry left and fitted the profile of what Kenny was looking for - especially as his then employer also operated a tactical set-up similar to Ireland's three at the back.
