Emma Duffy Reports from Aviva Stadium. CARLA WARD ’S UNVEILING this afternoon was overshadowed by other FAI matters, but the new Ireland WNT head coach took it all in her stride.
“I’ve always loved the Irish mentality and loved to play with Irish players — even if the ones I played with were a little wild. I think anyone that knows me, certainly anyone who knows what I’ve done in England, will know that I’m very passionate. Hayes is one of the biggest names in women’s football, having previously enjoyed huge success at Chelsea, and Ward spoke to her fellow Englishwoman about this opportunity.
Asked about her style, she said: “I think I’ve proven at all three clubs I’ve been at, I like to be in a team that’s exciting to play in, exciting to watch. I think that’s been through all the clubs I’ve been at. We like players to play with a smile on their face, number one. She is also keen to visit League of Ireland clubs, watch domestic games and address the “disconnect” that has been a talking point of late.
