Martin O’Neill and Roy Keane have signed two year contract extensions to lead Ireland through the 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign.
Both men were recently linked with the Celtic vacancy but with Euro 2016 occupying their thoughts a move to Glasgow was always going to be problematic.
Ireland kick off their Euro 2016 campaign against Sweden on Monday with O’Neill pleased to have the contract issue resolved.
“I am delighted that John Delaney and the FAI Board have extended our contracts for the World Cup campaign,” the former Celtic boss said.
“It has been an absolute privilege to have been in charge of the Republic of Ireland national team these last 30 months and we go to France tomorrow in good spirits, with a strong desire to do well in the next few weeks.
“The players have done brilliantly in the campaign so far and they are ready for the big challenges ahead.”
FAI chief Delaney added: “I am delighted we have agreed terms with Martin and his team of Roy Keane, Steve Guppy, Seamus McDonagh and Steve Walford.
“The board of the FAI were unanimous in offering Martin and his full management team a renewal of their contracts.
“Since Martin has taken over we have achieved the objective of qualifying for the Euros and he has led the project in helping to develop some of the emerging talents in Irish football, including Robbie Brady and Shane Duffy, right up to the recent introduction of Callum O’Dowda who made his senior debut last week.
“I am delighted to have worked with Martin and his team through qualification for the Euros, and I and all of the staff in the association look forward to working with them into the future.”
