FAI review over contract renewal 'flawed' and 'pre-determined', Pauw claims

breakingnews.ie

Vera Pauw has hit out at the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) for conducting a "flawed" review during negotiations surrounding the extension of her contract as head coach of the Republic of Ireland's Women's team.

It was announced on Wednesday that Pauw will not be retained following the end of her current contract, which expires this week.

In a statement released on Thursday, Pauw claimed the FAI's review was "pre-determined", and said a breakdown in relationships with "certain people in the FAI" came after allegations were made against Pauw in July.

The allegations were reported by The Athletic in the run-up to the World Cup, claiming the Dutch coach created a "culture of fear" during her time with US club Houston Dash.
