Video Of Roy Keane Press Conference As Ipswitch Manager

Roy Keane is delighted to be back in football management following his appointment at Ipswich Town.The Irishman has been out of the game since walking away from his post at Sunderland in December.

He believes he has benefited from spending time away from the stresses of coaching, but insists now is the right time to make a return.

There is no right time to return to management when you cannot take the stress. I doubt managing a Championship team will be easier than a Premiership team. With a tighter budget and the club unattractive to top players, it will be tougher than the job at Sunderland.

Keane has penned a two-year contract at Portman Road and admits his aim is to steer the club into the Premier League in 1 year.

He says,"If I wasn't up for challenges I'd be out walking my dogs today."

You should be walking your dog Roy..
