'Instagram will get me the f***ing job?': Roy Keane jokes that 'someone should have told him years ago' that having 1.5m social media followers could help land him a management role as he eyes a return to the hot-seat

Roy Keane has joked that 'someone should have told him years ago' that social media could help land him a management role.

Keane - who has 1.5million followers on Instagram - has not taken charge of a club since leaving Ipswich in 2011, but did assist Martin O'Neill at Nottingham Forest in 2019.

As a result, he has told Gary Neville that he is desperate to get back into coaching and joked that his decision to create a social media account during lockdown could help.
