Meanwhile, the FAI hope to announce a successor to Vera Pauw before the end of the year.
Gavin Cooney FAI CHIEF EXECUTIVE Jonathan Hill says Stephen Kenny is likely to remain in situ as Ireland manager until November, even if this week’s window against Greece and Gibraltar goes awry.
Advertisement Ireland’s campaign ends away to the Netherlands in November, with the final matchnight – a bye for Ireland in a five-team group – filled with a friendly game against New Zealand. Kenny’s contract lapses at the end of the campaign, and Hill says the FAI will allow him see it out. Meanwhile, the FAI are hoping to have a permanent successor to Vera Pauw announced before the end of the year. A 12-person longlist has been drawn up, which will then be trimmed to a three-person shortlist. Eileen Gleeson is doing the role on an interim basis, and will oversee the rest of the Nations League campaign, which will end away to Northern Ireland on 5 December.
Another major piece of business to be completed before the end of the year is the meeting of a government-mandated quota for at least 40% female representation on the FAI board. The FAI face a cut of more than €5 million in State funding if they can’t add at least one more female director to its board by the end of this year.
