Michael O'Neill's Northern Ireland record as he prepares for Stoke City move

Michael O'Neill's reign as Northern Ireland manager appears to be coming to an end.

O'Neill looks set to become Stoke City's new boss after reportedly .

The 50-year-old is expected to attend Stoke's game against Barnsley on Saturday before returning to Belfast to take charge of Northern Ireland's final two Euro 2020 qualifiers against Holland and Germany.

Northern Ireland host the Dutch on Saturday, November 16 and then travel to Frankfurt to take on Germany three days later.

It could be O'Neill's swansong as far as his tenure with Northern Ireland is concerned.

O'Neill was confirmed as Northern Ireland boss on December 28, 2011.

Since then he has taken charge of 70 games, winning 26, drawing 17 and losing 27.

In those 70 matches his side scored 74 goals and conceded 77, with a win rate of 37 per cent.

It looks like O'Neill will add another two games to his record with the Euro qualifiers against Holland and Germany.

It will take two massive performances, but you wouldn't bet against Northern Ireland pulling off a huge win in Belfast or Frankfurt.

Or both.

They still have a faint chance of automatic qualification, but the most likely route would appear to be next year's playoffs.
