Former City Midfielder In Norwich Boss Talks

Last updated : 02 May 2017 By CNS Sport/AO

Former Coventry City midfielder Michael O'Neill is having talks with Norwich City about becoming their new manager.

The Canaries sacked Alex Neill in March and have had Alan Irvine in charge for the rest of the season and are looking to appoint a new head coach.

O'Neill has managed at club level with Brechin City and Shamrock Rovers before he took charge of the Northern Ireland national team in 2011.

Under his guidance, Northern Ireland qualified and did well in Euro 2016 and O'Neill has it in his contract with the Northern Ireland Football Association that he can leave if a Premier League club activates a relwase clause for £750k, a fee which is understood to be lower for Championship sides.
