Matt Doherty backs management after Ireland draw against Serbia

Matt Doherty has backed the Ireland management team after their draw against Serbia,

In a rocky international window, there were reports that Kenny's job was under threat after the 1-1 draw to Azerbaijan.

But Tottenham defender Matt Doherty backed Kenny and his coaching staff as they bounced back with a good performance against Serbia.

He said after the draw: "We really believe in what they (management) are doing. The coaching we get from Anthony Barry is at Chelsea and Keith Andrews is top class.

"If people were in there seeing the type of coaching and gameplans we are putting together and how they've worked in certain games against some of the best players in the world.

"We are getting coached extremely well, we're fortunate to have the type of coaching staff we have behind us.I don't think there's a problem with the players in terms of how they see the manager's methods or the coaches methods, we are right behind them"
