Gary O’Neil, the 43-year-old manager, is reportedly on the cusp of being appointed as Ipswich Town's new head coach. He is expected to make his return to English football, departing his current role with Ligue 1 side Strasbourg. Sources indicate that only minor details remain to be finalised before O'Neil officially takes the helm at Portman Road.
O'Neil is set to succeed Kieran McKenna, who recently announced his intention to leave the club after an impressive tenure. McKenna famously guided Ipswich to consecutive promotions, culminating in their return to the top flight for the second time in the club's history.
During his time in France, O'Neil achieved notable success, leading Strasbourg to the semi-finals of the Conference League. His tactical acumen and ability to navigate European competition are understood to be key factors in Ipswich's decision.
In related managerial news from the same source, Burnley is reportedly making efforts to bring in Craig Bellamy as their new head coach.
