October 2006 and 25 November 2006.[72] Mannus said about getting six consecutive clean sheets, saying:
"The reason we have done so well defensively is down to 11 players, not just me as the goalkeeper or the
back four in front of me. I suppose I get a lot of attention because I am the goalkeeper and it is my job to
keep the other team out, but it goes the other way too. When goals are being conceded I am the one
everyone looks at, even if I feel that I am playing well at the time, so it is good to get praise as well. I do
think that I am becoming a better goalkeeper."[73] He made his 250th appearance for the club before his

Celtic.[162] After the match, he said about his happiness of returning from injury, but stated: "I have a bit

February 2014, Mannus signed a new one-year contract with the club, keeping him until 31 May

Post–playing career
In January 2023, Mannus was appointed as a goalkeeping coach educator for the Irish Football
Association.[290][2] On 14 August 2024, he returned to Linfield as their new goalkeeping coach.[291] On 6
January 2025, Mannus was appointed as a goalkeeping coach for Larne, succeeding his former teammate,
Alan Blayney.[292]

International career
Mannus was eligible to play for Canada (his birthplace) and Northern Ireland (his Northern Irish
parents).[5][3][293] Mannus represented Northern Ireland at various age levels.[294] He helped Northern
Ireland under–18 team win the Centenary Shield.[295] In a December 2015 interview, Mannus revealed
that prior to becoming cap tied to Northern Ireland no one from the Canadian FA had ever been in touch
with him regarding representing Canada.[5]

Having previously been called up to the Northern Ireland U21 in 2003, Mannus was called up to the
Northern Ireland U23 squad in April 2004.[296] He made his debut for the under–23, in a 0–0 draw
against Serbia and Montenegro U23 on 28 April 2004.[297] On 2 June 2004, Mannus was called up to the
senior team as a last-minute replacement in the squad for the injured Michael Ingham.[298] He won his
first Northern Ireland cap against Trinidad and Tobago four days later on 6 June 2004.[299]

Following this, Mannus was called up the Northern Ireland’s squad on two occasions throughout 2007,
but did not play.[75][300] It wasn’t until on 6 February 2008 when he made his first appearance for
Northern Ireland in four years in a friendly match against Bulgaria, coming on as a second–half
substitute, as the national side lose 1–0.[301] A month later, on 25 March 2008, Mannus made another
appearance for Northern Ireland, coming on as a 80th minute substitute for Maik Taylor, in a 4–1 win in
another friendly match against Georgia.[302] He had to wait for another year on 6 June 2009 to make
another appearance for the national side, in a 3–0 loss against the World Champions Italy.[303] Following
this, Mannus vowed that he’s aims to become Northern Ireland’s first choice goalkeeper.[304] However,
Mannus spent four years as a second–choice for the national side and was placed on the substitute bench,
due to being overshadowed by Maik Taylor, Lee Camp and Roy Carroll.[305] As a result, he felt being a
second–choice goalkeeper for Northern Ireland left him frustrated.[306] Mannus later criticised manager
Nigel Worthington, claiming that Worthington had assured him that failure to travel on the tour would not
harm his international chances after Alan Blayney, his successor at Linfield, played more matches for
Northern Ireland than him.[3][117][307] It came after in 2010 when he was called up to the national team
squad.[308] However, Mannus withdrew his name from the squad, which was subject of controversy.[309]

national side kept a clean sheet, in a 0–0 draw.[310] He later made two more appearances for Northern
Ireland, coming against Turkey and Cyprus, playing 45 minutes.[311] Following this, Mannus returned to
the substitute bench for the next two years.[312] Due to his form at St Johnstone, he said his target was to
dispatch Roy Carroll as Northern Ireland’s first choice goalkeeper, especially ahead of the UEFA Euro
2016, but the target was unsuccessful.[313] On 27 May 2016, Mannus made his first appearance for the
national side in three years, coming on as a second–half substitute, in a 3–0 win against Belarus.[314]

On 28 May 2016, Mannus was included by national team manager Michael O'Neill in Northern Ireland's
final 23-man squad for UEFA Euro 2016.[293][315] Upon being called up to the national team, he said it
was an honour to be a part of the squad ahead of the tournament.[316] However, Mannus was the third
choice goalkeeper behind Michael McGovern throughout the tournament, as Northern Ireland was
eliminated in the last 16.[317] Despite this, he said it was a great experience to be in the squad for the
national team.[318] Mannus made another appearance for Northern Ireland, starting the whole game, in a
3–0 loss against Croatia on 15 November 2016.[319]

Following this, Mannus remained on the substitute bench throughout 2017, including Northern Ireland’s
elimination in the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification against Switzerland.[320][321] After the national
team’s unsuccessful qualification for the World Cup, he announced his retirement from international
football.[322]

Personal life
Born in Mississauga, Ontario, Mannus lived in Canada until his parents moved back to Northern Ireland,
where he was raised in Carryduff in the north of County Down.[5][293] His brothers live in Northern
Ireland. Ian played mostly with Sirocco Works and Toby plays rugby, most notably for Belfast based
Cooke Rugby Club.[5][323][324] But his brother, Paul, have since moved back to Canada.[5] Prior to getting
a professional contract, Mannus worked as a fitness instructor.[325] Both Alan and Ian played against each
other in a 3–3 draw between Linfield and Glentoran on 1 March 2006.[326][323]

Growing up, Mannus was a boyhood Rangers supporters and first played against the Gers, in a 3–0 loss
on 30 July 2003, which he said it was a great experience.[327] Mannus also attended Dunmurry High
School.[328] During his time at Linfield, Mannus earned a nickname, Job, due to his patience.[6] As a
teenager, he took up mixed-martial arts but stopped it in order to concentrate on football and would have
took up as a career if his football career didn’t go full time.[329]

In the summer of 2015, Mannus married his long–term partner, Leanne.[181][330] Together, they have two
children.[331][2]

Mannus revealed that he has an engineering degree from Queen’s University and planned on getting a
coaching license once his playing career comes to an end.[332] The Irish Independent described Mannus
as a " Northern Irish Protestant who identifies as British."[333]
