O’Neill’s contract with the Irish Football Association (IFA) runs until 2028 and he says there will be talks with Blackburn about his future. <\/p>\n
He will lead Blackburn into their final Championship game of the season against already-relegated Leicester on 2 May. <\/p>\n
“Look, of course those discussions will take place, you know the club have a decision to make themselves, on what direction they want to go,” he said. <\/p>\n
“I’m a contracted manager, so the situation doesn’t really change from, I suppose for any club, if they wanted me as a manager, they would have to go through the IFA, they would have to meet the terms of the release clause and I would have to want to do it. <\/p>\n
“That’s existed at any point of my management career at international level and it’s the same now.<\/p>\n
“This was a loan, I suppose given where we are it’ll be deemed as a successful loan. I’ve enjoyed the club, there’s a lot of really, really good people at the club and you know. I’m sure conversations will happen one way or the other obviously in the weeks ahead.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"O’Neill’s contract with the Irish Football Association (IFA) runs until 2028 and he says there will be talks…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":625630,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-625629","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/625629","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=625629"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/625629\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/625630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=625629"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=625629"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=625629"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
