Ireland Women's National Team Manager Vera Pauw will not be offered a new contract to extend her stay with the Girls In Green.

The decision was made last night after six hours of deliberations and debate at the FAI Board meeting in Abbotstown.

The FAI Board confirmed that Eileen Gleeson will take charge of the WNT for their opening two UEFA Nations League Games in September.

Appointed in September 2019, Vera led the team to their first-ever major tournament – the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 – and a FIFA Women’s World Ranking of 22.

FAI CEO Jonathan Hill commented: “On behalf of the Football Association of Ireland, we would like to thank Vera for her hard work and commitment over the past four years and wish her well for the future. In particular, I wish to acknowledge the role she played in leading Ireland to the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 where our women’s team made history and inspired a nation.

“The future is bright for women and girls’ football and our focus now is building upon the work done by Vera and the historic achievements of our women’s team, which we see as a platform to support the next phase of the journey for the team, and more broadly the development of women and girls’ football in this country.”
