The Football Association of Ireland is progressing in its search for Stephen Kenny’s successor, with updates on the managerial position starting to emerge.
Among the developments, Neil Lennon, the former Celtic boss, has learned that he will not be taking the helm as Ireland’s next manager.
Marc Canham, the FAI’s Director of Football, has initiated the process of informing candidates about their status in the selection process.

This decision marks a significant moment in the FAI’s efforts to find a new manager, as they move closer to announcing who will lead the national team following Stephen Kenny’s tenure. The association’s communication with candidates like Lennon signifies the nearing conclusion of their decision-making process, with the official announcement of the next manager not far away now.
