O'Neill commits future to Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland boss Michael O’Neill
NORTHERN IRELAND boss Michael O’Neill signed a four-year contract extension yesterday, less than three weeks after turning down the Scotland managerial vacancy.
The 48-year-old, whose previous deal expired in 2020, has reached an agreement with the Irish Football Association on a lucrative six-year package, worth in the region of £700,000 per year, that runs until 2024.
O’Neill, who was appointed by the IFA in December 2011, spoke to the Scottish Football Association about succeeding Gordon Strachan last month but elected not to take up their post.
