Speaking in this afternoon's press conference Keane said of why he chose to take charge of Town: "My gut feeling, the ambition of the club, the history of the club.
"It's a proper football club. I think I've been very lucky with the clubs I've been involved with and I'm very lucky to get this job.
"It's all about the challenge, when I took over at Sunderland I knew that was a big club and I could turn it around and it's the same here.
"I enjoy working with ambitious people. There's enough people out there with no ambitions who are happy to go through the motions in life."
