Former Ireland international Stephen Kelly admits he wasn't surprised to hear that the Football Association of Ireland won't be renewing Stephen Kenny's contract.
Former Republic of Ireland defender Stephen Kelly told Sky Sports News:
"The news is inevitable. I think people knew for a while that Kenny wouldn't be extending his contract. People have already started to speculate over who the next manager will be. His work ethic was fantastic but we weren't getting anywhere and we're getting further and further away from qualifying.
"We're now in a position where we're lower down the pecking order so the profile of nations we'll be facing in the next qualifiers will become even harder.
"To see someone from the League of Ireland get into a senior role, and his vision for grassroots football all the way through to the national team, it was infectious. But the results weren't there. There was an attempt to bring an attractive brand of football but we're now further behind than we were when he came into the job.
