Kenny's tenure as Republic of Ireland's manager began poorly, marked by a loss record that included only 11 wins in 40 games, highlighting significant challenges faced.
Hallgrimsson is set for a warm reception that contrasts with Kenny's early days, bringing optimism as he prepares to lead the team against England.
Looking to calm his players before the match, Hallgrimsson's approach differs from Kenny's earlier, more incendiary tactics, as Ireland seeks to secure a strong start.
With the upcoming match against England considered pivotal, it remains unclear whether Hallgrimsson can lead his team to success and overcome historical difficulties.
