A statement released by the FAI tonight said the former CEO and now former Executive Vice-President has left the association with immediate effect.

They said: "The Board of the Football Association of Ireland announces the resignation with immediate effect of Executive Vice-President and former CEO John Delaney. 

"This follows talks between the parties. The FAI will fulfil certain notice and pension obligations as agreed between the parties. 

"Mr. Delaney served as CEO of the FAI from 2005 to March of 2019 during which time the FAI became partners in the new Aviva Stadium. In 2017, he was elected to the UEFA Executive and in March of this year, he moved to a role of Executive Vice-President of the FAI."
