Robbie Keane Begins Managerial Career By Playing Himself And Scoring A Beaut

Is there anything Robbie Keane can’t do? The former Ireland striker has been declared as player-manager of Atletico de Kolkata, and had his first game at the helm today.

After Teddy Sheringham was sacked earlier in the season, Keano was in charge against Northeast United, in what is the final game of the season.

The game didn’t start too badly from the Tallaght native’s point of view. Having started himself, Ireland’s record goalscorer did what he has been doing for his whole career, and found the net with a sweet strike.

GOALLLL!!!! Robbie Keane’s fantastic run of form continues!
