who this week took the reins at Saudi club Al-Qadsiah<\/a> – permanent successor.<\/p>\n“My mind is just here,” Keane said. “I am very happy here. It has been a really good year, it’s been a successful year. We won the league last year. We are doing well in Europe now. We are at the top of the league. I am really enjoying it. I work with good people here.<\/p>\n
Keane has now won 10 European games with the side in less than a year, third in the club\u2019s all-time list behind Tibor Nyilasi and Zoltan Blum while he guided them to the Hungarian league title last season.<\/p>\n
They currently sit second in the table after 17 games, one point behind leaders ETO Gyor.<\/p>\n
Keane moved into coaching in 2018 as player-manager at ATK in India and worked as an assistant to Ireland boss Mick McCarthy during his second spell in charge, and later took up a similar role under former Spurs team-mate Jonathan Woodgate at Middlesbrough.<\/p>\n
He was part of Sam Allardyce’s staff at Leeds as they unsuccessfully tried to pull off an unlikely escape from Premier League relegation at the end of the 2022-23 season<\/p>\n
The Republic of Ireland’s all-time leading goalscorer was in charge at Maccabi Tel Aviv for 18 months until he left the role last June.<\/p>\n
