Ipswich Town appoint Gary O’Neil as their new manager following Kieran McKenna’s exit earlier this month. Multiple outlets report that the appointment completes O’Neil’s return to Premier League management as Ipswich move into the competition again as a newly promoted side. The BBC and Sky Sports say Ipswich signs O’Neil on a three-year deal, while other reports describe the move as a three-year contract. Reports also note O’Neil previously managed Wolves and Bournemouth, and he left Wolves about 18 months ago before taking up a role in France. Yahoo Sports adds that Strasbourg received a fee believed to be worth €5m (about £4.3m) including add-ons, and that the amount is linked to O’Neil having two years remaining on his contract with the French club. The42 notes McKenna spent five years at Portman Road before departing. The new appointment is presented as Ipswich’s next step after the change in leadership, with O’Neil set to take charge at the club under the terms of his agreement.
