Giovanni Trapattoni says he is not fighting to keep his job as Republic of Ireland manager despite the record 6-1 home defeat by Germany in Dublin.
Trapattoni was defiant too when, after a week during which his future has been a topic of speculation, he was asked why he wanted to remain as Ireland manager. He said: "Because I am proud of this team and the results it has achieved. It's not about money - it's about pride and being professional in my job. I was in four countries and I won in every country."
