Following a board meeting this evening, the FAI can confirm that Stephen Kenny will not continue in his role as manager of the senior men’s national team
“The Board and all at the FAI would like to sincerely thank Stephen and his staff for their hard work, professionalism and unwavering dedication to the team, the fans, and to Irish football. We wish Stephen every success for the future…”
A man who managed in the Premier League, La Liga and took Wales to a Euros semi-final. He also managed to bag Charlotte Jackson. That James McClean inflicted defeat in 2017 and the Sunderland Till I Die series might stand against him.
We don’t need box office. We need a man with a bit of charisma who can handle the media and knows how to get a team boxing above their level, instill a team spirit, make us solid and hard to beat and have us with a solid attacking game aiming to get the best out of Ferguson.
We don’t need a keane. We don’t need anyone with ‘corkishness’
He wouldnt be around them for long periods like a club manager would.Thats a plus in my book for obvious reasons.
He did win the championship with Sunderland a few years back.Alot of games and motorway miles in that division in fairness to him.
Hes marmite unfortunately.
