The former Celtic striker was among the names seriously considered for the position before the Scottish champions ultimately turned to Martin O'Neill on a short-term basis.
Keane's potential appointment proved contentious among sections of the support, largely because of his previous spell in charge of Maccabi Tel Aviv.
The Irishman had appeared to be moving closer to the Celtic vacancy before Dermot Desmond eventually went in a different direction and handed responsibility to O'Neill.
However, former Crystal Palace boss Iain Dowie does not believe Keane's managerial career should be defined by where he has previously worked.
