McCarthy had originally been due to stay in charge until 31 July, after the Euro 2020 finals — now put back a year — were originally due to finish. Kenny had been set to take over on 1 August after being in charge of the under-21 national side. Ireland faces Slovakia away in the Euro 2020 qualifying playoffs, with the winner to face either Northern Ireland or Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, the fixture has been postponed for a second time due to the pandemic.
