The future of Robbie Keane within the FAI is expected to be resolved in the coming days.
Keane was a senior coach under Mick McCarthy, but the Republic of Ireland's record goalscorer does not form a part of new manager Stephen Kenny's backroom team.
Kenny will be assisted by Keith Andrews and Damien Duff.
Keane has two years left on his current contract and an amicable departure is seen as the most likely option.
