Michael O'Neill: 'I am proud to manage Northern Ireland'

Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill has praised his players for sealing qualification to the Euro 2016 finals, describing it as a "privilege" to be at the country's helm.

Steven Davis scored twice as his side beat Greece 3-1 in Belfast on Thursday night to book their place in France next year and end a 30-year wait to reach another major tournament.

O'Neill told BBC Sport: "The players were outstanding. Right through the team, magnificent. It's a privilege to be here, I'm proud to stand here as their manager.

"How have we done it? I'm not really sure! The players deserve the ultimate credit. We have confidence and belief which comes from winning games. This shows the potential of this team and of football in NI."

Northern Ireland top Group F on 20 points, three ahead of second-placed Romania with one game left.
