Stephen Kenny remains hopeful he will stay on as Republic of Ireland boss but admitted it's "quite possible" that his reign will end after Tuesday's friendly against New Zealand.The Boys in Green ended a disappointing Euro 2024 qualification cmapaign with a tame 1-0 defeat to a Netherlands side ravaged by injuries.They collected just six points in their eight games, thanks to home and away wins over minnows Gibraltar, who were annihilated 14-0 by France in tonight's other group game.Kenny's contract is almost up and speculation is rife that the FAI will look to go in a new direction, but he continues to enjoy the public backing of his players, with Matt Doherty and Gavin Bazunu both talking up his credentials post-match."I really don't know," he told RTÉ Sport when asked if he believed he'd reached the end of the road."I don’t control that.

It’s quite possible. I don’t know. But all I can say is I see the effort tonight and high level of skill, bravery. It wasn’t enough and Holland were better than us.
