The FAI has confirmed that Eileen Gleeson's time as head coach of the Irish women's team has come to an end. Ireland missed out on qualification for Euro 2025 following defeat to Wales in a play-off earlier this month. 

In a statement released on Wednesday evening, the FAI said: "At a meeting of the Football Association of Ireland Board and following a review, a decision was taken not to offer a new contract to Eileen Gleeson to continue as head coach of the Ireland women’s national team."
