"The Irish job was something that had to be sorted out"

Jack Charlton's quote "The Irish task was something that had to be figured out" is a referral to his time as the manager of the Republic of Ireland national football group. During his tenure, Charlton was tasked with the job of transforming the group from an average side into a competitive one. He accomplished this by presenting a brand-new style of play, which focused on attacking football and using the team's physicality. He also generated a number of skilled players from the Irish league, which assisted to improve the team's total quality. Charlton's efforts paid off, as the group went on to get approved for the 1990 World Cup and the 1994 World Cup, reaching the quarter-finals in the latter. His quote is a testament to his success in changing the Irish team, and his decision to get the job done.
