**Frederick Roy Millar** is a Northern Irish football administrator. He is the [Irish Football Association](/source/Irish_Football_Association)'s director of [coaching](/source/Coach_(sport)) and former head coach of the [Northern Ireland national under-21 football team](/source/Northern_Ireland_national_under-21_football_team). Born in [Belfast](/source/Belfast), he previously played in the [Irish League](/source/IFA_Premiership) first for Portadown F.C. then for [Cliftonville F.C.](/source/Cliftonville_F.C.) and finally finishing his playing career with [Dundela F.C.](/source/Dundela_F.C.) in the old 'B' Division. Since joining the Irish FA in 1975 as a coach and as an international coach from 1982 Millar has at some point taken charge of all youth teams from Under-16 to Under-19 and also the [Northern Ireland B team](/source/Northern_Ireland_B_national_football_team) and the Northern Ireland Elite (Under-19) squad that takes part in the [Milk Cup](/source/Milk_Cup).

On 29 April 2008, the Irish FA announced a restructuring of their coaching framework with Millar stepping down from his role as Northern Ireland Under-21 coach due to retirement. At the same time [Mal Donaghy](/source/Mal_Donaghy) and [Kenny Shiels](/source/Kenny_Shiels) also left their positions as Under-19 and Under-17 teams respectively.[1] Millar retained his position as Director of Coaching through to 2009.
