Martin O'Neill rejects offer to be Stoke City manager

The Republic of Ireland boss Martin O'Neill has rejected the chance to become Stoke City's new manager. He looked set to move to the bet365 Stadium but has now removed himself from the running.
His decision leaves Stoke in limbo in their search to replace Mark Hughes after failing to land any of their top three targets.

Stoke could now make a short-term appointment until the end of the season as they decide their next move.
