John O'Shea content to 'wait and see' what happens next with Ireland manager position

John O'Shea is not looking beyond the Switzerland game on Tuesday night, and the interim manager says it's a case of wait and see regarding his future with the national team.

"Not from my point of view," added O’Shea, when asked about whether anything had changed in relation to his dealings with Marc Canham and the FAI.

"As I said, the main focus has been on these two games to really get that experience in terms of leading the team, organising staff, organising training, players, the whole surrounding around it, getting that experience under my belt and I’ve really enjoyed it."

"In football, ha, let's wait and see," he added.

"Hopefully there will be a few things
