Everton legend Seamus Coleman has accepted a new role with the Republic of Ireland national team as he weighs up his future as a player. The long-serving right-back, who has captained both club and country, is reportedly contemplating whether to continue his playing career while stepping into the new position.
Details of the specific role have not been disclosed, but the appointment signals a transition for the 37-year-old defender, who has made over 400 appearances for Everton since joining from Sligo Rovers in 2009. Coleman has earned more than 70 caps for Ireland since his senior debut in 2011.
The development comes as Coleman enters the latter stages of his current contract at Goodison Park. His experience and leadership have been central to both Everton and the Irish setup for over a decade.
