The Football Association of Ireland have confirmed a change of manager is on the cards.

The Republic have officially announced Stephen Kenny's departure as their head coach.

Kenny led out the team for the last time against New Zealand in Dublin in a 1-1 draw.

In a statement the FAI admitted that results were not good enough, with the team missing out on Euro 2024.

FAI chief executive Jonathan Hill said: “Over the period of his tenure, Stephen and his staff have worked tirelessly to create the right environment to support the development of our senior men's team, and we are hugely grateful for that considerable contribution.

“Stephen has also overseen an important period of transition for our senior men's national team and has given debuts to a significant number of new and younger players and this will serve as a solid platform for whoever now takes this group of players forward."

FAI President Gerry McAnaney added: “The Board and all at the FAI would like to sincerely thank Stephen and his staff for their hard work, professionalism and unwavering dedication to the team, the fans, and to Irish football.

“We wish Stephen every success for the future."
