REPORTS TONIGHT SUGGEST that the FAI have reached an agreement with both Mick McCarthy and Stephen Kenny to take over as Ireland manager over the next three years.
McCarthy is expected to be unveiled as Martin O’Neill’s successor tomorrow afternoon, but the Irish Examiner are reporting tonight that Kenny is also in the frame to take charge of the senior team after the Euro 2020 qualifying campaign and finals.
McCarthy looked set to beat Kenny in the race for the top job, but these latest developments may see Dundalk lose their manager for a position in Ireland’s underage set-up, with an agreement in place that he will replace McCarthy once the European Championships campaign has been completed.
