It’s the start of a new era – and Paddy’s digging into his pocket to build the hype!
Sure, England might be embarking on life after Gareth Southgate, but it’s all about Heimir Hallgrímsson taking charge of our Boys in Green for the first time.
After the longest search in human history, FAI bigwigs finally settled on Icelandic coach Hallgrímsson to take the reins and relieve John O’Shea of his title as long-term interim boss.
From Iceland to Al-Arabi to Jamaica to Ireland. It’s certainly an interesting career path.
The curse of the protracted search for a new gaffer has crossed the Irish Sea to our friends in England as the FA opted to name Under-21s chief Lee Carlsey – a one-time target for our top job – as Southgate’s temporary replacement following his departure in the wake of their disappointment of the Euro 2024 final.
The sheer number of unknowns should make the latest meeting between Ireland and England – the first game in this UEFA Nations League cycle – an exciting affair and Paddy’s instructed the bean counters at Power Tower to get into the mood.
And they’ve decreed that you can get your Money Back as a Free Bet if your Bet Builder on Saturday’s big match loses.
Just hop on over to the Paddy Power Promotions page from 9am on Friday, September 6 and Opt In.
Like everything in life, there are a few T&Cs to note. Your Bet Builder must be between the value of £/€1-25, comprise four or more legs and it needs to clock in at odds of 1.5 (1/2) or greater.
A Paddy Power Bet Builder allows punters to pick from multiple markets for an event and combine them into one bet.
