Sarah Keane, CEO of Swim Ireland and president of the Olympic Federation of Ireland (OFI), has confirmed that she has been approached about the vacant chief executive’s role at the FAI.

The football body is in the market for a new boss after Jonathan Hill, the man who replaced John Delaney in the hot seat, finished what proved to be a disappointing and curtailed three-and-a-half-year term in the role back at the end of April.
