Ian Baraclough has broken his silence after being sacked as Northern Ireland manager last month.
The 51-year-old's tenure as international boss ended following another disappointing UEFA Nations League campaign which saw his side pick up just five points from six games.
Baraclough has opened up on his departure 28 days after leaving the Irish FA, highlighting some of the "challenges" he faced including the Covid-19 pandemic and injuries to key players.
