Sheffield United’s coaching mentor and consultant, Aidy Boothroyd, has accepted a temporary position with Northern Ireland this summer.
Adam Sadler has been granted leave due to personal reasons and so the ex-England U21 manager will be brought in to help Northern Ireland prepare for their upcoming Nations League fixtures against Greece, Cyprus and Kosovo.
After seven years in the England set-up, Boothroyd joined the Blades in January following the appointment of Paul Heckingbottom.
