Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni says he will not walk away following last night’s 1-0 defeat to Austria in their World cup qualifier in Vienna.
The loss means it’s practically impossible to qualify for the World cup in Brazil next year.
The FAI says they "will now consider the current position over the coming period to discuss the recent results."
Today’s usual post match press conference has been cancelled.
Trap’s contract runs out next summer and the Italian says he will not go before unless the Association force him out.
Meanwhile, it was a humiliating night for Northern Ireland as well, beaten 3-2 in Luxembourg.
Wales lost 3-0 at home to Serbia, Scotland won 2-1 in Macedonia while England top Group H by one point after a 0-0 draw in Ukraine.
