Upfront - A Women's Football Podcast

Tanya Oxtoby on her coaching philosophy, developing young talent and what Euro 2025 would mean for Northern Ireland

Just over a year into her role as Northern Ireland head coach, Tanya Oxtoby joins us in the studio to reflect on her journey so far as she prepares for a crucial Euro 2025 play-off against Norway next week. Tanya explains how she landed this dream job in international management and reveals why her first six months in charge were really tough. Plus, she reveals the one thing her players hate most about her meetings and her key ingredients for unlocking young talent. Oh, and she attempts to give us a PG version of what that win against Croatia really meant to her and the team. Join us!
