Baraclough has lost 14 of his 28 games in charge, beating only Lithuania, Kosovo, Estonia, Malta and Luxembourg during his two-year reign.
Despite that, the former Scunthorpe manager began his tenure helping his adopted country to the cusp of qualifying for Euro 2020, taking over after Michael O'Neill had led them into the play-offs through the Nations League before they were beaten by Slovakia in extra time of the final.
It took 11 games and almost a year in charge before Baraclough tasted victory over 90 minutes, and managing just two wins over Lithuania in World Cup 2022 qualifying saw them finish seven points off a play-off place.
Things were little better in the Nations League, where he oversaw Northern Ireland's relegation from League B in 2020/21, before they only avoided back-to-back demotions in League C by finishing ahead of Cyrus on goal difference.
The Irish Football Association now have time on their side to choose their new manager ahead of their next game, a trip to San Marino in Euro 2024 qualifying, which is more than five months away in March 2023.
