Mick McCarthy, who led Ireland to the 2002 World Cup last 16 before resigning later that year, was reappointed Ireland manager last November

PARIS – Mick McCarthy made an inauspicious start to his second stint in charge of the Republic of Ireland as his team laboured to a 1-0 Euro 2020 qualifying victory over Gibraltar on Saturday.

The visitors failed to break down a stubborn Gibraltar in the first half despite dominating possession, with Wolves full-back Matt Doherty starting in midfield to accommodate captain Seamus Coleman at right-back. But Gibraltar did not give up and almost found an equaliser when 37-year-old forward Lee Casciaro curled wide after a fine team move.
