Republic of Ireland 2024 fixtures: Difficult start for new boss but chance to prove their worth
The Boys in Green were drawn in the same UEFA Nations League group as England following yesterday's draw in Paris
Last November signalled the end of Stephen Kenny's tenure as Republic of Ireland boss following a disappointing Euro 2024 qualifying campaign.
Nearly three months have passed and there is still no sign of a new men's manager.
That draw saw the Boys in Green paired with England in League B of the competition. The new head coach will also prepare his squad for games against Finland and Gus Poyet's Greek outfit during the autumn international windows.
Before the first competitive fixtures of 2024, Ireland welcome Belgium and Switzerland to the Aviva Stadium next month before they host Hungary in June. Their second fixture of the summer window will be an away friendly against Portugal in Aveiro.
It won't be an easy start for the incoming boss on the sideline, but it certainly should be a challenge to prove a point that this young Irish squad can hold their own at international level.
