Martin O’Neill says contract issue now ‘resolved’

Martin O’Neill last night confirmed he has agreed a new contract to stay on as manager of Ireland.

O’Neill — who had been so heavily linked with the Stoke hot-seat, which was this week filled by Paul Lambert — did not give any detail of the terms of the contract, in a video interview released by the FAI last night.

Regarding his future, O’Neill said: “That’s been resolved. John and I have agreed terms, and it’s just a matter of the lawyers looking over some sort of detail and getting it signed up.”
