Former Republic of Ireland captain Robbie Keane's future is looking uncertain after Middlesbrough sacked manager Jonathan Woodgate.
Woodgate has been replaced by Neil Warnock at the English Championship club where Keane was the assistant manager.
It's being reported that the Dubliner will also depart the club which is hovering above the relegation places.
Keane has also yet to resolve his situation with the FAI after Irish senior boss Stephen Kenny opted not to keep him on the coaching staff following the departure of Mick McCarthy.

Tyrone's Conor McKenna has tested negative for Covid-19 just three days after previously returning a positive test.
The Essendon player tested positive last weekend, which saw his side's game with Melbourne postponed on Sunday and two other games rescheduled.
After the positive test, the AFL also announced that they were restricting the amount of contact training sessions that teams can do.
The 24-year-old was heavily criticised for the positive result but Essedon are now looking into the possibility that McKenna's positive test was in fact a false positive.
