ICYMI: Shaw back in Man Utd training
Stephen Kenny's Republic of Ireland contract will not be renewed, the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) has announced.
Kenny's departure comes after the Republic failed to qualify for next summer's European Championship in Germany.
The 52-year-old took charge of his final game on Tuesday night, where his side drew 1-1 in a friendly with New Zealand in Dublin.
In a statement on the FAI website, CEO Jonathan Hill said: "Over the period of his tenure, Stephen and his staff have worked tirelessly to create the right environment to support the development of our senior men's team, and we are hugely grateful for that considerable contribution.
"Stephen has also overseen an important period of transition for our senior men's national team and has given debuts to a significant number of new and younger players and this will serve as a solid platform for whoever now takes this group of players forward."
Kenny had admitted he was unlikely to continue in the role after Republic of Ireland finished fourth in their qualification group, losing every game other than two victories against Gibraltar.
"Of course, it would be a dream to carry on and manage the team, but my instinct is that's not going to happen," he said. "The evidence suggests that probably won't happen, so I respect that as well."
