Maurice Setters: Former Republic of Ireland assistant manager dies aged 83

Maurice Setters, the former Republic of Ireland assistant manager, has died aged 83.

Midfielder Setters' playing career included 194 appearances for Manchester United in the 1960s, after spells at West Bromwich Albion and Exeter City.

He also went on to play for Stoke City, Coventry City and Charlton Athletic.

As a manager, Setters took charge of Doncaster Rovers in the 1970s, before spells in caretaker charge of Rotherham and Sheffield Wednesday.

But it was as Charlton's right-hand man where he made his mark in the coaching world, reaching the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Italy in 1990.
