Lawrie Sanchez blasts Northern Ireland boss Nigel Worthington and believes his managerial abilities are 'getting worse'.

Former Northern Ireland boss Lawrie Sanchez believes that manager Nigel Worthington should step down from the helm.

The 49-year-old coach was forced to endure a 4-1 thrashing against Estonia in the Euro 2012 qualifier this week, which is sure to dampen their chances of progressing through the competition.

Sanchez believes that the former Norwich City manager is not up to the task and a “change” is needed.

"Nigel has had enough cracks at it,” Sanchez told BBC Radio Ulster. “Everybody sees the writing is on the wall.

"He is not doing an exceptional job. It's not happening. It has got worse rather than better. Everybody realises it is time for a change."

The 51-year-old Barnet manager, who carried out a stint as Fulham boss, has been clear about his intentions to return as Northern Ireland coach.
