Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill has distanced himself from reports linking him with Norwich City.

There had been speculation that O'Neill had held informal talks with the Canaries who are expected to appoint a new Head Coach in the coming weeks.

However, the 47-year-old says it's not a job he's interested in.

O'Neill also insisted that he's received no contact from Norwich and reiterated that any approach would have to be made through the Irish FA.

It's understood that O'Neill has a £750,000 release clause for any Premier League clubs hoping to speak to him, although that figure is believed to be lower for Championship teams.

Norwich are expected to ramp up their search for a successor to Alex Neil following their final game of The Championship season against QPR on Sunday May 7.
