Martin O'Neill is expected to bring in his own backroom team as part of the new management set-up for the Republic of Ireland.

O' Neill is expected to be confirmed as manager tomorrow, with Roy Keane as his assistant.

The Northern Irishman is also considering bringing in some of his former players such as ex-Wycombe defender Steve Walford, former Wycombe and Leicester winger Steve Guppy, as well as former Irish goalkeeper Seamus McDonagh on board.

The deal should officially be announced tomorrow, with a press conference due later on this week.

O'Neill will claim a salary of around €1.2 million, with a €800,000 bonus should Ireland qualify for Euro 2016 in France, which has been expanded from 16 to 24 teams.
