Good interview. Seems like a nice fella, wish him all the best COYBIG

[FtblRashfordEditz]

Hope he can bring us to the good old days 🇮🇪

[davidryan]

Best of luck in the new role Heimir. We will be supporting you and the team, hoping we can make some progress over the next few years and hopefully qualify for a major tournament.

[SunRiseNightFall]

I hope we qualify for the next major tournament. That would be nice.

[TheIrishKing.]

I won't lie I've never heard of him but he has my backing 🙏👍🇮🇪

[coloneljessop]

The most exiting manager appointment since Trappatoni. I believe he will mould Ireland into a team nobody will want to play.

[RonanStrain]

All the best Heimir, glad to have you on board!

[oakey]

If he beats England again it will be a good start!

[Gouldinho]

Welcome big lad…..let’s hope he can get something going!!

[WenaAdam]

Up the Irish 💚🤍🧡 hope we can qualify for the World Cup in 2026 🇮🇪🇮🇪

[Paul]

Lets all get behind him, it's not going to be an easy task considering how incredible difficult it will be to be competitive in the nations league with the level that the three teams are at and the world cup qualifiers considering where Ireland is ranked in the world and how hard the teams will be to play against. he clearly did wonders with Iceland and Jamaica by getting them to major tournements. It's been a long while since we were last competitive in a qualifying campagn so lets hope that he can get us competiting like the previous managers did before Kenny's time with the team.

[johnhannan]

Yep. I’m excited for us. It’ll take a couple of years to get going. I wish him and the squad well. G’luk

[fergusobrien]

Best of luck and hoping you bring us success going forward.

[martinmcdonald]

Welcome Heimir, we are all behind you .Slainte.

[olivercork]

Wish this man the best-a nice guy and similarly in the same situation. Respect him, wishe him well and hope for glory

[paulkelly]

Welcome to Ireland Heimir, actually we are closely related from previous generations.

[shaneodonnell]

Get us to the World Cup in 2026. I am happy, especially when 48 teams in the next World Cup in the USA, Mexico, and Canada
no excuses. Let get behind him COYBIG

[JayOnThePitch]

I’m so sad he left us. Hope he does well for you lot

[gridone]

I must admit I was critical when it was first announced. However, listening to this interview, I've changed my mind.

I have a good feeling Heimer will be a perfect fit for us.

Welcome 🇮🇸🇮🇪☘️.

[NextLevelLFC]

It’s an interesting appointment I have to say. He’ll get us playing high energy level football in a solid cohesive way. Like what he done with Iceland in the euros in 2016. He’s must have done his homework on our squad of players. Half of them under 25 and thought I can achieve something with these players.
