Northern Ireland women: Former Dungannan boss Kris Lindsay to take interim charge of Switzerland and Turkey qualifiers

Northern Ireland have appointed Kris Lindsay as interim manager for their first pair of 2027 Women’s World Cup qualifiers in March.

Tanya Oxtoby left the post to manage Newcastle United in November after two years in charge and, with no permanent replacement appointed, Lindsay will take charge of games away to Switzerland on 3 March and home to Turkey four days later.

Lindsay, who is currently manager of the Northern Ireland men’s under-16 team, was previously at the helm of Irish Premiership side Dungannon Swifts, and served as first-team coach for Cliftonville and Glenavon.

Lindsay was also first-team coach for the Northern Ireland women’s team when Gail Redmond was interim manager between the reigns of Oxtoby and previous manager Kenny Shiels in July 2023.

“Managing your country at any level is a privilege and I’m delighted to be given this chance,” said Lindsay.

“I have followed the senior women’s team for some time. They have a fantastic leadership group and my role will simply be to add where I can.

“These are two tough games to kick off our World Cup campaign and I’m looking forward to getting started.”
