Republic of Ireland boss Heimir Hallgrimsson says he is trying to "shake things up" with a new training schedule as he bids to guide the team out of their "downward spiral".
"That would be my preference of doing it this way," said Hallgrimsson, who overlooked established internationals Matt Doherty and Callum Robinson for this week's games in Finland and Greece. Hallgrimsson is attempting to replicate his successful spell in charge of his native Iceland, the highlights of which were a Euro 2016 win over England as joint-manager with Lars Lagerback and 2018 World Cup qualification as sole boss.
The Brentford defender took the armband for the closing stages of the England game after Coleman limped off before and retained captaincy duties against Greece.
