Eileen Gleeson Confirmed As New Republic Of Ireland Women's Manager

She originally held the role on an interim basis following Vera Pauw’s departure

Eileen Gleeson has been confirmed as the new Republic of Ireland women’s manager.

Gleeson says her appointment as Republic of Ireland women’s manager is the proudest and most humbling moment of her life.

She held the role on an interim basis following Vera Pauw’s departure, leading Ireland to a 100 per cent record in the Nations League.

Gleeson’s appointment comes after what FAI CEO Jonathan Hill had previously described as a ‘global search’ across the women’s game.
