Martin O’Neill and Roy Keane have mutually agreed with the board of the Football Association Of Ireland to part company.

O’Neill, who was first appointed to the position on November 5, 2013, most recently led the Republic of Ireland team to a draw away to Denmark in the final game of the new UEFA Nations League.

The management team of assistant manager Roy Keane, goalkeeping coach Seamus McDonagh, and assistant coach Steve Guppy  also parted company with the FAI.

FAI President Donal Conway said: “On behalf of the FAI Board, I would like to thank Martin, Roy, and the management team for their work with the Republic of Ireland team over the last five years.

“Martin ensured that we enjoyed some great nights in the Aviva Stadium and on the road in Lille, Vienna, and Cardiff, which were fantastic high points for Irish football."

Already there has been speculation of who might take the reins with Mick McCarthy been tipped as the favourite.
