Breaking Stephen Kenny to remain in charge for rest of Euro 2024 campaign

Stephen Kenny will remain in charge of the Republic of Ireland team for the final three games of their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign and the international friendly with New Zealand in November, the FAI has confirmed.

Speaking at a press conference on Thursday morning, FAI CEO Jonathan Hill said that Kenny's future would not be discussed until a review after those games.

Asked by RTÉ could he confirm that Kenny, whose future has been the focus of intense discussion since their 2-1 loss to the Netherlands, would remain in charge until the end of the Euro qualifying campaign, Hill said: "Indeed I am, and the final friendly game against New Zealand as well."

In a wide-ranging conference, Hill also addressed issues former WNT manager Vera Pauw raised following the decision of the FAI not to offer her a new contract following the side’s World Cup campaign.

"It was clear from conversations with Vera that she was not going to change her fundamental approach."
