Former Sligo Rovers boss loses NI job



Former Sligo Rovers boss Ian Baraclough has been sacked as Northern Ireland manager by the Irish Football Association.

The decision was taken at an executive board meeting in Belfast on Thursday evening.

NI have won just four of their 22 competitive fixtures under Baraclough, who replaced Michael O’Neill at the helm 28 months ago.

He departs after his side avoided relegation to the fourth tier of the Nations League despite losing to Greece at the end of September.

Baraclough previously guided Sligo Rovers to the League of Ireland title in 2012.
