Michael O'Neill, the current Northern Ireland manager, is set to take over at Championship side Blackburn Rovers. He will initially assume a joint role with the club until the conclusion of the current season. O'Neill is expected to continue in his position with the national team during this period.
Blackburn Rovers currently sit in the bottom three of the Championship table. The club's previous manager, Valerien Ismael, departed earlier this month. Interim head coach Damien Johnson has overseen the team's recent fixtures.
O'Neill has experience managing a club and national team simultaneously in the past. He could be in attendance for Blackburn's upcoming match against Queens Park Rangers on Saturday. The Irish FA is understood to be reluctant regarding the job-sharing arrangement.
