Giovanni Trapattoni will retain his job as Republic of Ireland manager after receiving support from the Football Association of Ireland.
Trapattoni, 73, had been under severe pressure ever since last week's embarrassing 6-1 thrashing at home to Germany in World Cup qualifying last week.
However, the veteran Italian boss responded by leading Ireland to a 4-1 victory over the Faroe Islands on Tuesday, and that appears to have reassured the FAI.
