stephen kenny: While announcing the return of McCarthy, who served as his country's manager between 1996 and 2002, the Football Association of Ireland confirmed he will be replaced in two years by Stephen Kenny, who has resigned as manager of Dundalk in order to lead Ireland's Under-21s until he graduates to the senior team when McCarthy leaves, according to The Guardian. FAI and Delaney face added scrutiny after exits of O'Neill and Keane Paul Doyle Read more This unusual arrangement is the FAI's attempt to satisfy their twin objectives of qualifying for Euro 2020 and planning for the development of Irish football beyond that. McCarthy was unveiled in Dublin as the immediate replacement for Martin O'Neill, whose five-year reign was terminated on Wednesday. McCarthy said it makes perfect sense and he has no problem with Kenny being guaranteed to take over in two years no matter what happens between now and then. If we do really well and we get to the Euro 2020 final and win it, there might be a push for me to stay and there might also be a job in the Premier League and I might want to move on there. I'm happy enough with that, said McCarthy.
