O'Neill offered N Ireland job

Sky Sports sources understand Michael O'Neill has been offered the the job of new Northern Ireland manager.

IFA expected to name new boss next month

Sky Sports sources understand Michael O'Neill has been offered the the job of new Northern Ireland manager. O'Neill is currently looking for a new job after leaving Shamrock Rovers earlier this month. The Irish Football Association are thought to have interviewed O'Neill, and fellow former international team-mates Jim Magilton and Iain Dowie earlier this week as they seek a replacement for Nigel Worthington. O'Neill has earned himself a reputation as one of the brightest young managers around after helping Shamrock Rovers become the first League of Ireland side to qualify for the group stage of a European competition by guiding them into the Europa League this season. The IFA are expected to confirm the appointment of their new manager next month with O'Neill seemingly in pole position.
