Kenny exit to be formalised after November FAI meeting 

The FAI’s head of football Marc Canham is due to finalise his review of the manager’s tenure after the final qualifier against Netherlands in Amsterdam on Saturday, November 18 and the friendly three days later at home to New Zealand.

TICK, TOCK: Republic of Ireland manager Stephen Kenny.

Stephen Kenny’s departure from the Ireland manager’s position is set to be formalised after a meeting of the FAI board on November 28.

With qualification for next year’s Euros in Germany beyond Ireland, both from the group and all but certain via the playoff backdoor, Kenny’s contract will expire once next month’s double-header concludes.
