Former Aston Villa defender Steve Staunton is keen to return to the management side of the game.

The 40-year old is eyeing the top job at League Two club Rotherham who are believed to be looking for somebody to step into Mark Robins' position.

Staunton was in charge of the Republic of Ireland national team in 2006, his first management job, but finished his tenure the following year.

After that he moved into an assistant's role at Leeds United where he remained for about 11 months.
