UNBACKABLE favourite Terry Venables is still completely in the dark about his chances of being the next Republic of Ireland manager, it emerged last night.

The ex-England coach revealed that he has not been interviewed, nor contacted, by the three-man FAI head-hunting committee charged with finding a replacement for Steve Staunton.

Venables told Newstalk FM that he has heard nothing from Messrs Don Givens, Ray Houghton or Don Howe � even though Ireland�s prestige friendly against Brazil at Croke Park is now less than a month away.

He told Newstalk two weeks ago that nobody from the FAI had contacted him. I have yet to hear Venables himself say he is interested in the job.

Yes he's been interviewed!
