\"\"Former Republic of Ireland international Kevin Kilbane has backed calls for Robbie Keane to become part of the national team’s coaching staff.<\/p>\n

The FAI are said to have contacted Ireland’s all-time record goalscorer about working with the underage set up.<\/p>\n

Kilbane thinks Keane could help the Boys in Green’s current attacking problems.<\/p>\n

He said: “Why not get him involved, why not get him helping the rest of the lads so they can hopefully learn from him.<\/p>\n

“We’re not necessarily saying that Robbie’s going to make a Shane Long or Seanie McGuire a Robbie Keane overnight…but just little nuggets of information he can give to them about he gets his information across to me and his teammates when I used to play with him.<\/p>\n

“That sort of thing is vital.”<\/p>\n
