Who else is there?
After nearly three months, it seems the FAI are set to announce their appointment for the next Republic of Ireland men's manager.
The process, which has been ongoing since Stephen Kenny's departure last November, has led to Chris Coleman's name being touted for the job in the last 24 hours.
It has been no secret that Lee Carsley was the FAI's favoured candidate since the process began but reports suggest that the England under-21 head coach is unlikely to take on the role.
Former Wales boss Coleman, who has Irish links through his Dublin-born father, was most recently in charge of Greek outfit Atromitos up until October 2023.
The Swansea native is better known for his time in charge of clubs such as Fulham, Coventry and Sunderland since he started his managerial career in the early 2000s. His success came on the international stage when he guided a Welsh side, which included ex-Spurs and Real Madrid attacker Gareth Bale, to the last four of Euro 2016.
Would you be happy if Coleman was to take up the reins of managing the Boys in Green?
