THE FAI have confirmed that Roy Keane has decided against becoming Celtic’s new manager.
The 42-year-old had held talks with the Glasgow-based club in recent days, as speculation mounted that he would not be joining Ireland on their US summer tour this Wednesday.
Earlier today reports suggested that Keane no longer wanted to be considered for the vacant job at Celtic Park.
The FAI responded this afternoon with the following tweet:
Roy Keane has confirmed that he will travel to the US after deciding not to pursue talks with @celticfc any further. #COYBIG

Keane was named as the assistant manager to Martin O'Neill for Ireland in November last year.
