Northern Ireland manager Tanya Oxtoby is in advanced talks to become head coach at WSL 2 side Newcastle United.
Oxtoby, 43, has been in charge of Northern Ireland since 2023.
She managed Bristol City from 2018 to 2021 before becoming assistant coach to Emma Hayes at Chelsea for two seasons.
Oxtoby has also had spells as Scotland, Birmingham City, Perth Glory and Australia Under-20s assistant.
Northern Ireland lost to Norway in the Euro 2025 qualifying play-offs last year.
Last month they lost 5-0 to Iceland on aggregate to miss out on promotion to the top tier of the Nations League.
Newcastle have been without a head coach since Becky Langley left on 21 October with the club ninth in the table.
They went fully professional in 2023 and finished fifth in their first campaign in the second tier last season.
