He left the club in 1989 and then had a brief spell at Shepshed Charterhouse, who currently play in the ninth tier of the English football league system.

He moved to Wycombe Wanderers in February 1990 and led the club to the football division for the first time but moved to Norwich City in June 1995, before leaving in December due to differences with the club chairman.

He started managing the Northern Ireland National Team in 2013, and has remained there since then.
