Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill agrees a new two-year contract with the nation's Football Association.

Manager Michael O'Neill has signed a new two-year contract with Northern Ireland.

The 44-year-old's previous deal had been due to expire next month. However, having reached an agreement with the Northern Irish Football Association regarding extended terms, he will now oversee the nation's Euro 2016 qualifying campaign.

"When I was appointed Northern Ireland manager I was honoured to have been chosen to manage my country and I am extremely happy to have agreed a new two-year deal with the Irish Football Association," he said.

"I have said all along that I would like to continue in the role. I think there has been a major transition in the team.

"It's a very young squad, but a squad which has developed during the last campaign, with several young players of quality emerging. I am now looking forward to taking the team into the European Championship qualifiers."

The former Newcastle United and Wigan Athletic defender took over the role in December 2011.
