Who is Roy Keane's wife and what is the net worth of the former Ireland captain?

We are seeing a lot of Roy Keane lately as he has become a regular pundit on Sky Sports' Premier League coverage.

The former Ireland captain continues to stay true to the no-nonsense approach that made him such a formidable midfielder.

Keane though has always kept his personal life intensely private, and despite often criticising modern footballer's lavish lifestyles, he has amassed a considerable fortune himself.

Roy Keane got married to Theresa Doyle at a ceremony in Mayfield, Cork in 1997.

The couple are believed to have met when she was a dentist's assistant and he was playing for Nottingham Forest in 1992.

They have five kids together: Shannon, Caragh, Aidan, Leah and Alanna.

Keane has said about his wife: “She’s had to bite her tongue a few times.

“I wouldn’t say Theresa likes every part of the package.”

The Corkman is estimated to be worth between €40 million and €50 million.

Footballers wages have escalated hugely since his playing days, but he was still earning round €100,000 a week in his pomp for Manchester United.

Keane then took a big wage cut to join Celtic before hanging up his boots in June 2016.

The 48-year-old managed Sunderland and Ipswich and recently earned a yearly salary of €600,000 when assistant manager to Martin O'Neill for the Republic of Ireland.

He is now a regular pundit for Sky Sports while still publicly stating his desire to return to club management.
