Vera Pauw has hit back at comments made by Diane Caldwell last September in which the Ireland defender claimed their success in reaching a first ever World Cup was achieved “in spite" of their manager.

The former Republic of Ireland Women’s National Team manager was relieved of her duties just three weeks after the Girls in Green’s first appearance at a major tournament ended at the group-stage.
