The World Cup winner with England guided Ireland to Euro 88 and the 1990 and 1994 World Cups
Jack Charlton had been diagnosed with lymphoma in the last year and was also battling dementia.
One of English football’s most popular and larger-than-life characters, he had spells in charge of Sheffield Wednesday, Middlesbrough, Newcastle and the Republic of Ireland, who he guided to their first major finals at Euro 88 and two more in the space of 10 years.
Jacks family said ''We cannot express how proud they we of the extraordinary life he led and the pleasure he brought to so many people in different countries and from all walks of life''.
The FAI is deeply saddened to learn of the death of Jack Charlton, the manager who changed Irish football forever.
