Stephen Kenny Departs as Ireland Coach After Euro 2024 Failure

Football Association of Ireland Confirms Contract Will Not Be Renewed Following Disappointing Campaign

Stephen Kenny's contract as coach of Ireland will not be renewed following the team's failure to qualify for Euro 2024, the Football Association of Ireland confirmed.
Kenny, who replaced Mick McCarthy in 2020, had a disappointing tenure with only six victories in his 29 competitive games in charge.
Despite the poor performance, Kenny is credited for overseeing a period of transition for the team and introducing a significant number of new and younger players.
The Republic of Ireland ended their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign with only six points from eight matches, with their two wins coming against Gibraltar.
The search for a new coach is underway, with no competitive action for the Republic until September 2024.
