John Delaney: Former chief executive resigns from FAI role
Former Football Association of Ireland chief executive John Delaney has resigned from his post as the body’s executive vice-president.
The FAI board announced the 51-year-old’s departure on Saturday.
Delaney had been in post as chief executive for 14 years before a restructure was announced in March.
That came in the wake of a review into the FAI’s financial dealings after it was revealed Delaney gave the governing body a 100,000 euro loan in 2017.
Delaney said the loan was designed to “aid a very short-term cash flow issue”.
The FAI stated the “bridging loan”, given in April 2017, was repaid in full to Delaney two months later.
