Keane will be on Sky on Sunday.

Roy Keane joins Sky Sports punditry team for Premier League season

‘While I’m not coaching I still want to be involved in the game and in some ways, this is the next best thing.’

ROY KEANE, WHO has recently stated his intentions to return to management in the future, has joined Sky Sports’ punditry team for the Premier League season.

The former Manchester United and Ireland midfielder has appeared on Sky Sports’ top-flight coverage before, but has now signed up to be a full-time analyst with the broadcaster.

Keane, who has been out of a job since leaving his role as Martin O’Neill’s assistant at Nottingham Forest at the end of last season, will be part of Sky Sports’ Premier League double-header on Sunday as Man United travel to West Ham and Chelsea host Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.

“I’ve worked with Sky Sports quite a few times over the years and it’s always been an experience I’ve enjoyed, so this makes absolute sense,” Keane said.

“While I’m not coaching I still want to be involved in the game and in some ways, this is the next best thing.

“It’s a game of opinions, I’ve never shied away from giving mine and that’s only going to continue this season. Sky Sports has always been famous for the heated debates — I look forward to starting a few more.”

    @Mr Kenobi: it’s says in the article it will be based on current positions, don’t know if that means combining both tables, if so connacht r 6th. Depends on what the format for season Cup will be too.

    @Mr Kenobi: Yes, next years Champions Cup is to be contested by 24 teams (AFAIK for 1 season only). Connacht and Dragons will be in alongside the teams occupying the top 3 positions of each conference currently.

    So is it as normal – 2nd v 3rd to make the semis or just top 2 in each league?

    @Chris Mc: Leinster v Edinburgh/Munster one semi and Edinburgh/Munster v Ulster is the other of the most likely scenarios. Sets up nicely for for knockout rugby and good chance for everyone.
