Former Northern Ireland boss Ian Baraclough believes the nation is on course to qualify for a major tournament again in the near future as he broke his silence following his dismissal last month.
Baraclough, 51, was sacked on October 21 having won only six of his 28 games in charge inside 90 minutes, also beating Bosnia & Herzegovina on penalties, with the Irish Football Association deciding to make a change before the start of Euro 2024 qualifying next year as fan discontent grew.
