Roy Keane's thoughts on quitting Sky Sports punditry as he confirms his next career move
Roy Keane is planning to move overseas in the near future after putting a timeframe on his punditry career. Having earned legendary status with Manchester United, Keane managed Ipswich Town and Sunderland before transitioning into the media.
The Irishman kept his hand in coaching with roles with Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest and Ireland but he is currently focused on his work with Sky Sports and ITV. Keane is a regular on The Overlap and during a recent On Tour episode in Turin, he revealed to Jamie Carragher, Ian Wright and Gary Neville that he is considering moving to mainland Europe in the coming years.
"In the next couple of years, I reckon I will be moving abroad... putting it out there," said Keane.

Keane was assaulted by Arsenal fan Scott Law, 43, following the Premier League match between the Gunners and United in September 2023. After the case went to trial, Law, from Essex, was banned from entering a football ground for three years.
The altercation began when Keane and fellow Sky Sports pundit Micah Richards were making their way to the pitch to conduct their post-match analysis, with the ex-Ireland international being headbutted through doors by Law.
A judge ruled Law had been “untruthful about what happened” and he was found guilty of assault. As well as the three-year banning order, he was ordered to complete 80 hours of unpaid work and pay legal costs of £650, plus a victim surcharge of £114.
