Overview
- Heimir Hallgrímsson said after Tuesday’s 0-0 draw with North Macedonia that he wants Seamus Coleman to keep playing and be available for Euro 2028.
- Coleman, 37, earned his 79th cap and left to a standing ovation after 61 minutes, and he has yet to decide on his international future.
- Hallgrímsson said Coleman's choice will hinge on his Everton situation, with the right-back limited to 12 Premier League minutes this season.
- The manager described a difficult reset following Thursday’s play-off loss in Prague, noting an initial slow, flat training session despite giving players a family day to decompress.
- Ireland will hold a May camp in Murcia that includes a game against Grenada, with further friendlies against Qatar and Canada planned to assess players and rebuild momentum.
