The ex-Wigan, Tottenham and Blackburn defender is happy that Keane is making headlines as a pundit, as he believes the latter was a poor coach.

And Chimbonda told The Sun on Keane calling him one of his worst signings at Sunderland: “That was totally out of the blue (Keane’s criticism) but like I’ve said, I don’t want to make any big issue out of that.

“Roy Keane won lots of trophies, he played for his country, so what can I say?

“Maybe we just didn’t click, but every time I ever stepped foot on the pitch I always gave everything for the manager and the team.

“Everyone has an opinion and you see on the TV that he is doing really well.”

“Of course,” insisted Chimbonda. 

“I have no issue with him, any manager or player that I’ve played with.

“He’s working on the TV and I’m glad and happy what he’s doing on the TV as it’s tough and he’s good at this.

“Maybe as a manager he wasn’t a good coach, so everyone has their own way and maybe the switch has been really good.”
