The Football Association of Ireland has confirmed a new full-time international coaching structure that will strengthen the development & level of support provided across Irelandโs underage international pathway ๐ฎ๐ชโฝ๏ธ
ย
The innovative model will see five full-time International Lead Coaches - Noel Hunt, Chelsea Noonan, John Cotter, Keith OโHalloran & James Scott - working alongside four full-time International Coaches - Conor McCormack, Graham Gartland, Mark Connors & Richie Smith - across all teams, from Under-15 up to Under-19 level
ย
The structure has been designed to transition away from a traditional age-group model and instead create a more connected coaching team working across development phases, supporting player development & ensuring greater alignment throughout the pathway โ๏ธ
