The Republic of Ireland women's football team is undergoing changes following the surprising departures of manager Eileen Gleeson and assistant coach Colin Healy after a disappointing Euro 2025 play-off defeat. Defender Aoife Mannion expressed her disappointment and highlighted the strong relationship and positive experiences she had while working with Gleeson and Healy. Healy criticized the Football Association of Ireland for the lack of communication regarding his contract renewal, prompting Mannion to suggest a need for improvements in transparency within the organization. Carla Ward has been appointed as the new manager, starting with an upcoming match against Turkey.
It was a surprise for me when they were let go. I loved coming into camps under them, so on a personal level I'll really miss them.
I think if the FAI wants to be a really open and inclusive organisation, they will want to have a look internally and make sure everything has been done.
