Former Ireland boss Martin O'Neill 'delighted' after new role

Martin O’Neill has been appointed chair of the League Managers Association to succeed Howard Wilkinson, who is retiring at the end of the season.

O’Neill won the European Cup twice as a player with Nottingham Forest and was also capped 64 times by Northern Ireland before enjoying a successful managerial career with the likes of Leicester, Celtic, Aston Villa, Sunderland and the Republic of Ireland.“I am succeeding Howard Wilkinson who has, for over 30 years, overseen the growth of the LMA and served its members with great distinction, dedication and passion.

“The support I have received from the LMA throughout my time as a manager has been hugely important to me and I am delighted to have the opportunity to give something back to the association.“I would like to build on the work Howard has done so diligently and hopefully continue to support the current and next generation of LMA members.”
