Ireland’s Denise O’Sullivan says the FAI didn’t seriously consider the views of players in deciding to jettison the management team of Eileen Gleeson and Colin Healy.

The recommendation for change was endorsed by his board after chief football officer Marc Canham conducted a Euro campaign review involving feedback from staff and players.
