Lars Lagerback believes that the ex-dentist will instill a clear way of playing with Ireland
Lars Lagerback, who co-managed Iceland with Heimir Hallgrimsson, has weighed in on the new Republic of Ireland appointment.
After 231 days without a permanent manager, the FAI announced on Wednesday that the never-ending search for a successor to Stephen Kenny was finally over and that Hallgrimsson would be taking over the position, ending John O'Shea's interim term in the process. "I think he'll try to establish a clear way of playing with Ireland. The way we worked together, and I think he's still into the same thing, was that you must have a very well-organised team," he said.
Hallgrimsson recently managed the Jamaican national team to Copa America 2024 qualification, a position which he left at the end of the campaign. Lagerback thinks that Hallgrimsson's time with Jamaica proved that his style of football is still viable.
