Northern Ireland reached the Euro 2022 finals in England last summer. Although they were knocked out at the group stage, it was considered a watershed moment for the national team and women's football in the country

Shiels departs despite having one year remaining on his contract.

He said: "I have enjoyed my time as senior women's manager immensely. I have worked hard with the players to raise their expectations and change their style of play so that we were a team to be reckoned with
