Stephen Kenny Set to Replace Mick McCarthy as Republic of Ireland Manager After Euro 2020

Stephen Kenny will replace the newly-appointed Mick McCarthy as Republic of Ireland manager after the Euro 2020 finals.

It was announced that McCarthy would take over the helm after Martin O'Neill left his role as manager on Thursday, signing a two-year deal with the FAI and is set to have his first press conference as manager on Sunday at 3pm at the Aviva Stadium.

However according to RTE News, it has been announced that Kenny - who currently manages Dundalk in the League of Ireland Premier Division - will replace McCarthy once the European Championships in 2020 concludes.
