Marc Canham is set to become the FAI’s new Director of Football, brushing off competition from John Morling and Pat Fenlon in the final recruitment stages for the redesigned post.

The vacancy carries more seniority than the High Performance Director role it replaced, still having supremacy over senior managers Stephen Kenny and Vera Pauw but with a wider remit encompassing non-elite aspects.
