Carla Ward on staff, players and plans as she prepares for competitive action.
Emma Duffy LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION. After Carla Ward announced her first Ireland squad yesterday morning, her press conference ran along expected lines.
The new Ireland head coach confirmed “it wasn’t an option to consider” former assistant coach Healy for a role in her backroom team, given he had departed the FAI before her arrival. While Alan Mahon is Ward’s assistant head coach, Liverpool’s Amber Whiteley this week came on board as another assistant coach. Emma Byrne continues in her role as goalkeeping coach, completing an impressive quartet, with former Aston Villa boss Ward steering the ship. She explained its inner workings, and the various roles involved.
Ward also spoke glowingly of Ruesha Littlejohn, who she is pleased to have on board after working together at Villa and Birmingham City.
