Eileen Gleeson, who was interim Republic of Ireland manager for the recent Women's Nations League campaign, has been appointed to the position on a permanent basis.

Gleeson assumed the temporary role in August after the Football Association of Ireland did not renew Vera Pauw's contract after the World Cup.
