Morrissey wears Maccabi Tel Aviv jersey during gig as cousin Robbie Keane takes manager job

Morrissey wore a Maccabi Tel Aviv jersey while performing a concert on Tuesday night, just days after his cousin Robbie Keane was announced as manager of the Israeli side.

Former Smiths frontman Morrissey was performing in Tel Aviva and donned the jersey as he played for the hometown crowd.

And the singer is a distant relative of Ireland legend Robbie Keane and was showing his support on the night as he performed in the Israeli city.

Keane was announced as boss of Maccabi Tel Aviv a week ago as he finally kickstarts his managerial career. The record Ireland goalscorer has previously coached at Middlesbrough under Jonathan Woodgate and was part of the Ireland coaching staff under Mick McCarthy and also was part of Sam Allardyce's coaching ticket at Leeds United.

Keane first found out he was related to the famous singer 10 years ago with his grandfather and Morrissey's father cousins.
