Can you name every Irish manager in Premier League history?

Seven Irishmen have been managers in the Premier League. Can you name them all?

We’re sure you’ll be able to name the current Brentford manager, pictured above, but what about the six managers from the Republic of Ireland before him?

We’ve given you 10 minutes to name all seven and the only clue you’re getting is the club(s) each of them managed. They’re listed in chronological order of their time in the Premier League.

Permanent appointments only. We’re not including any interim or caretaker stints, with apologies to Paddy McCarthy.

If that’s given you a thirst for more, try our challenge to name the top 30 Irish players with the most Premier League appearances.
