Gus Poyet has once again courted the possibility of becoming the next Republic of Ireland manager as his contract with Greece enters its final few months.After the Greeks' 2-0 win at the Aviva Stadium in October, Poyet went out of his way to praise the Irish fans."It is a big plus for us to have this situation now and be able to beat the Republic of Ireland twice because, I tell you, the support in here...

I would like to be in charge of the team here," he said."I would love that. I would absolutely love that. I think it is a terrific place to come and play football.

I was even surprised coming from the hotel, watching the people. I pay attention a lot. How many people have got the tracksuit?

The black one. How many people have the green. Listen, in Uruguay we are patriots, but I don't think many people buy the national team tracksuit."I don’t remember, maybe I am wrong.
