DUBLIN — Vera Pauw's four-year tenure as coach of Ireland's women's team will end when her current deal expires this week. The Football Association of Ireland board has announced that Pauw won't be retained despite leading the country to its first Women's World Cup. FAI chief executive Jonathan Hill has thanked the Dutchwoman "for her hard work and commitment over the past four years and wish her well for the future." He noted the World Cup qualification that "made history and inspired a nation." Ireland was eliminated in the group stage of the tournament after losses to co-host Australia and Canada and a draw with Nigeria.
