O’Neill to Join Blackburn Rovers as Manager

Northern Ireland manager Michael O’Neill is set to join Championship club Blackburn Rovers in a joint role until the season’s end, while still preparing for upcoming World Cup play-off matches. O’Neill, who has returned to manage Northern Ireland since 2022, aims to lead the team to their first World Cup in 40 years. Damien Johnson will assist him at Blackburn, where they currently sit 22nd in the table. A swift agreement with the Irish FA could see O’Neill in charge for Saturday’s game against Queen’s Park Rangers.
