The association this week confirmed that Stephen Kenny’s position as manager will be reviewed in November.
Paul Fennessy THE FATES of two national team managers dominated the Football Association of Ireland’s press conference on Thursday.Like Kenny, Pauw’s future has been a subject of months-long speculation .The FAI earlier this week indicated that the team’s style, which some players and staff disagreed with, was the primary reason why the first-ever manager to qualify Ireland for a World Cup had to go.
The style of play did not appear to be an issue as recently as last October — in fact, team captain Katie McCabe told RTÉ after the Scotland playoff victory: “People might not like our style of play and the defending but we love it.”Advertisement In the end, nothing was done until the very last minute and Ireland arguably suffered the consequences in Australia.The Irish team’s hopes of automatic qualification for the Euros effectively ended following the defeat to the Netherlands last Sunday.
To give a sense of how likely it is to occur, according to the We Global Twitter account’s projections, Ireland have a 12.24% of making the playoffs.
