Blow for FAI as Foley backs out of Interim CEO role at last minute

The crisis-hit Football Association of Ireland was dealt another blow after the man lined up to assume the role of Interim CEO backed out at the last minute.

John Foley, a former CEO of Athletics Ireland, was due to take over at the FAI today, but has turned down the post, indicating he felt he did not have enough support among key stakeholders to succeed in the role.
