What the expert says...
Stephen Kenny is set to leave his role as manager when his contract expires
Stephen Kenny's contract is set to officially expire on Tuesday evening as soon as their end-of-season friendly against New Zealand finishes.
Kenny's contract would have continued until March if Ireland had managed to secure a play-off place through the Nations League to try and qualify for the Euros next summer.
Instead though Ireland have failed under Kenny and now have a wait until September next year to have another meaningful game with the return of the Nations League.
The Kenny era ends with a near full house at the Aviva and he will be hoping to end his spell in charge with a win to at least end on somewhat of a high.
