You have to use all the tools - Johnson

Damien Johnson says building relationships with players and getting to know their personalities will be an important part of his role in the Northern Ireland coaching staff.

The former Blackburn Rovers and Birmingham City midfielder has been appointed as assistant coach by new Northern Ireland manager Ian Baraclough.

"You have to use all the tools you have available to try and make the players you have better, and I try to utilise it all," Johnson said.
