Denmark have revealed that the FAI have cancelled a proposed friendly between the countries next month – and the secretary general of the Danish federation made no bones about the fact that they are displeased by a “clear contract breach” by the Irish governing body.
An FAI subcommittee is setting about the task of finding a replacement for Brian Kerr, whose three-year tenure came to an end after failure to qualify for next summer’s World Cup finals.
And the search for a new manager will take up all necessary energies for the time being – so it has been decided to shelve plans for a game at Lansdowne Road next month.
The Danish secretary general, Jim Stjerne Hansen, said: “Its board decided to put the agreement with us aside saying they found the game unnecessary because they do not have a trainer.
“There is a clear contract breach but we won’t get a game out of that.”
The Association have never advertised a November friendly against the Danes, so the only surprising thing about the Danes’ announcement is that a contract was ever agreed between the respective federations.
