"I don't want to be where I'm not wanted"

Heimir Hallgrimsson postponed contract talks with the FAI until after the World Cup campaign. He expressed reluctance to remain in a position where he felt unwelcome, using the words "I don't want to be where I'm not wanted". His initial contract, agreed when the FAI recruited the former Iceland coach last year, covered the Nations League campaign and was due to end after Ireland's involvement in the 2026 World Cup. The postponement delays negotiations over a possible new contract until after Ireland's World Cup campaign concludes.
