Michael O’Neill has resigned as Northern Ireland manager due to proposed revised international match scheduling by UEFA in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, Report says citing the official website of the local association.
“I would have loved the opportunity to manage Northern Ireland in the UEFA 2020 play-off game versus Bosnia and Herzegovina and the chance to qualify for another major tournament, but the current situation means that this is no longer possible.
“It was essential to leave the association and team in the strongest possible shape to not only have the best chance of qualifying for Euro 2021 but allow the new manager time to build upon the success that we have had during my eight-year tenure.
