FAI to open contract talks with Stephen Kenny

Republic of Ireland manager, Stephen Kenny

Jonathan Hill will open negotiations with Ireland manager Stephen Kenny and his agent Eamon McLoughlin on a contract extension after Monday afternoon’s board meeting.

The Abbotstown summit will concentrate on a report compiled by FAI chief executive Hill on Kenny’s performance in the job. Foremost in the dossier will be an appraisal of the recently completed World Cup campaign but not to be discounted are the eight winless games he presided over in 2020.
