Hill leaving position as FAI chief executive

An interim CEO will be appointed by the FAI which will be followed by"a structured search for a full-time successor", according to a statement issued this morning.

Hill was the first permanent CEO appointed to the FAI following the governance issues which emerged during the John Delaney era. He finally attracted a title sponsor to the men’s team after a long absence but the association is yet to appoint a manager for the men’s international side following Stephen Kenny’s departure in November.

Hill said:"Since 2020, the FAI team and the wider football community have embraced what has been a radical transformation process for the association and I'm proud of what has been achieved. We have developed a new, dynamic senior leadership team, a clear strategic vision, a bold plan to address football's wider infrastructure needs and a stable and growing financial platform for further and sustainable growth.

The independent chair of the FAI board, Tony Keohane, believes the organisation has benefited from Hill's leadership despite the unplanned parting of ways:"Jonathan joined the association during a difficult time in the heart of the Covid-19 pandemic and helped the association navigate an extremely challenging period.
