Ian Baraclough will continue as Northern Ireland manager beyond the 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign after the Irish Football Association agreed to extend his contract.
Negotiations regarding the length of the extension are ongoing.
That deal was set to expire upon the conclusion of the current qualifying campaign.
The 50-year-old has long made clear his desire to stay beyond the initial deal, repeatedly stating his intention to expand the existing player pool and bringing through a new generation of young players with an eye on Euro 2024.
He stepped into the role having previously managed the under-21s when O'Neill was at the helm of the senior side.
Early in Baraclough's tenure Northern Ireland reached the Euro 2020 play-off final but lost to Slovakia, while their hopes of reaching next year's World Cup in Qatar were ended with three games remaining following a defeat by Switzerland earlier this month.
