Republic of Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni and his assistant Marco Tardelli have parted company with the Football Association of Ireland by mutual consent.
The Italian duos departure came following what the FAI described as an amicable meeting this morning.
I want to thank everyone in Ireland who has given us their support during our time here which has always meant a lot to us, Trapattoni said in a statement released via the FAI.
We leave this country with emotion because we understand the Irish supporters who have a well-deserved international reputation and they have our utmost respect.
I would like to thank John Delaney, Paddy Mc Caul, Michael Cody and the FAI Board for their support and friendship over the last five and a half years.
I would also want to thank all FAI staff members, including the backroom team and the players who have been great to work with during the last three campaigns. I wish them well in the future and hope that the job we have done leaves everything in a good place for my successor to take over.
