FAI have confirmed that, as expected, Dundalk assistant manager Ruaidhri Higgins has left Oriel Park and taken up a role as Chief Scout and Opposition Analyst with Ireland manager Stephen Kenny's backroom team.

Dundalk boss Vinny Perth had been critical of the FAI’s first approaching Higgins in April about such a move but now says the matter has been satisfactorily resolved and has wished his former Number Two the best of luck as he links up with the former Lilywhites manager in the new Irish set-up.
