Departing coach claims she was undermined by FAI executivesPauw: ‘My advice was often disregarded and not respected’
The outgoing Republic of Ireland women’s coach, Vera Pauw, has claimed Football Association of Ireland (FAI) executives undermined her position by interfering in the running of the team in the build-up to the 2023 World Cup.
After this week’s announcement that the Dutch coach’s contract would not be renewed with Eileen Gleeson taking over in an interim role, Pauw issued a statement in which she said the FAI had conducted a “flawed” review into the World Cup campaign in which “the outcome was pre-determined”.
