The campaign resumes later this month with two matches against Albania.
Eileen Gleeson will remain in charge of the Republic of Ireland senior women's team until the end of the Nations League campaign.
The FAI say they have reached the long list stage in the recruitment process as they search for a permanent replacement for Vera Pauw.
A statement from the FAI confirmed the decision. It read: "Eileen Gleeson will continue as Interim WNT Head Coach for remainder of UEFA Nations League Group campaign.
"Recruitment for a new Head Coach has reached a long list of candidates and this will move to a short list within the coming month."
Gleeson has already guided Ireland to two wins in their group - but won't be considered for the full-time role.
