This evening Ireland beat Gilbraltar 1-0, away in Victoria Stadium in a Euro 2020 (Group D) Qualifier.
Also in the same group, Switzerland beat Georgia away 2-0, so they now lead the Group D table.
It was Mick McCarthy's first game back in charge of the Irish team in fifteen years.
It wasn't a pretty match but Ireland got the three point after Burnley's Jeff Hendrick finding the net four minutes into the second half. Aston Villa's Conor Hourihane was chosen as Man of the Match.
After the match the FAI released a statement, that John Delaney is to step down from his role as Chief Executive with immediate effect. He has been in the role since March 2005.
Delaney will take on a different role as Executive Vice President.
He will be responsible for all UEFA and FIFA matters including the proposed World Cup 2030 bid with the UK, the Under 21 Euro bid with Northern Ireland and matters pertaining to the Aviva Stadium from an FAI perspective.
Rea Walsh (who is the Chief Operating Officer at the FAI) will act as interim CEO starting from Monday. It is understood a full public procurement process will be undertaken until the full time role of CEO is filled.
