New Northern Ireland women's manager Tanya Oxtoby says she is targeting qualification for major tournaments.
Northern Ireland qualified for Euro 2022 under Kenny Shiels but missed out on the summer's World Cup."When I took on this role I was looking at the Euros and the World Cup," said Oxtoby, who met with Northern Irish media for the first time on Friday.
Northern Ireland missed an international window in February with Irish FA coaches Andy Waterworth and Gail Redmond taking charge of matches while the association looked for Shiels' successor. Oxtoby will begin her tenure in Northern Ireland's Nations League opener with the Republic of Ireland on 23 September in Dublin, and says she is really excited for "a different challenge"."It's a role for me that is really, really exciting," the 41-year-old said.
"The foundations have been fantastic and we have a really good platform to launch the team forward. It's been a really exciting journey and one I want to carry on."Hughes, who was key to Oxtoby's appointment, added that he felt the Australian was the right person for the job and defended the association's eight-month wait to replace Shiels.
