The FAI has confirmed the appointment of David Courell as the association's new Chief Executive Officer.
The Castlebar native has been interim CEO since April, following the departure of Jonathan Hill.
Courell worked with the English FA before taking up the position of Chief Operating Officer with the FAI in February of 2022.
During his time as interim CEO, the FAI appointed Heimer Hallgrimsson as manager of the men’s national team following the long term saga in finding a successor to Stephen Kenny.
