Ireland manager believes his position is secure until end of Euros campaign
“Yeah, I definitely do [intend to remain in the job],” said Kenny ahead the Gibraltar qualifier at the Aviva Stadium tonight. “My contract is up until the end of the campaign and whether it’s renewed will depend on how people feel the campaign went overall but certainly I fully expect to be.”
“I’m not going to sit here and do a full press conference on an assessment of my period in charge or anything like that, I’m here really to prepare for tomorrow, the game against Gibraltar. It’s a big game for us and I said to you I’m disappointed that we lost against Greece but we’ve got to bounce back against Gibraltar and I’m fairly sure we can do that and we’ll take that into September.”
When one journalist described the manager’s record of 12 defeats from from 23 competitive matches since September 2020 as ‘shambolic’, Kenny decided that enough was enough.
