Blackburn Rovers boss OāNeill on his future after securing clubās Championship safety
Michael OāNeill admits he is not sure what the future holds for him after guiding Blackburn Rovers to Championship safety.
Roversā 3-1 win against Sheffield United confirmed their place in the Championship next season.
OāNeill took over at Blackburn in February until the end of the season, balancing it with his role as manager of Northern Ireland.
āOf course, those discussions will take place,ā he said when asked about what comes next.
āThe club have a decision to make for themselves on what direction they want to go.
āIām a contracted manager. So the situation doesnāt really change from, I suppose, for any club. If they wanted me as their 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.
āSo those are all the things that have existed at any point of my management career at an international level. Itās the same now.
āI guess this was a loan. I suppose, given where we are, itāll be deemed as a successful loan.
āIāve enjoyed the club. Thereās a lot of really, really good people at the club. As I say, Iām sure conversations will happen one way or the other, obviously, in the weeks ahead.ā
OāNeill insists he cannot do both jobs next season, however, as he has done in the second half of this campaign.
āYou canāt do both. Thereās no way you could do both,ā he said.
āI was only able to do the two things because the game was in March. Thereās no way you could do it when the games are in September, October and November.
āItās not possible. It was tough enough, to be honest. I maybe underestimated that a little bit but I was fortunate. I had a really good staff at Northern Ireland.
āThe team was extremely well prepared for the Italy game. Unfortunately, we didnāt get over the line in that game. But, yes, at some point, Iāll have to make a decision one way or the other.ā
