Stephen Kenny has signed a new contract as Republic of Ireland boss that takes him to the 2024 UEFA European Championship campaign.
The 50-year-old’s contract was due to expire in July but both parties had remained confident of striking a new deal.
Kenny has lost just one of his last 10 games as national team boss following a winless opening 11 fixtures after succeeding Mick McCarthy.
Kenny’s assistant Keith Andrews and backroom staff of Dean Kiely, Stephen Rice and Damien Doyle are also rewarded with new deals.
