DUBLIN — Besieged Republic of Ireland coach Giovanni Trapattoni has been given the green light to continue in charge of the team's World Cup qualifying campaign.
The 73-year-old Italian looked doomed on Friday when Ireland suffered a 6-1 defeat to Germany, the country's heaviest ever home loss.
But a 4-1 win over the Faroes in Torshavn on Tuesday boosted hopes of finishing second in Group C which could secure a play-off spot in the race for Brazil.
