Martin O’Neill has left his job as Republic of Ireland manager by mutual agreement. His coaching staff, including Roy Keane, have also departed.
O’Neill has gone after the team finished bottom of their Nations League group, his final match being a goalless draw in Denmark this week.
He took the post in November 2013 and led Ireland to the last 16 of Euro 2016. O’Neill departs amid growing disillusionment among fans, the side having gone 397 minutes without a goal and having won only one of their nine games in 2018.

The Football Association of Ireland’s chief executive, John Delaney, said: “I would like to thank Martin, Roy, and the management team for the impact that they had with the Ireland team. There have been many highlights during Martin’s reign – none more so than Euro 2016 in France, which will live long in the memory of all Irish supporters.”
Ireland reached the play-offs for the 2018 World Cup but lost 5-1 to Denmark.
