FOOTBALL Association of Ireland chief executive Jonathan Hill has said he isn’t worried about missing out on Ireland’s next men’s team manager by allowing Stephen Kenny continue in his role until November.

The FAI CEO also said he did not know Lee Carsley personally, but would not be drawn on the former England U21 coach or any other potential candidates until after the Board meets in November, in what now clearly will be a meeting to end Kenny’s reign as manager.
