Ipswich Town 'close' to appointing ex-Boro man as Kieran McKenna's successor
Ipswich are expected to finalize a deal after reports said terms were agreed, with Gary O'Neil set for a quick Premier League return.
- Ipswich Town is nearing the appointment of Gary O'Neil as head coach, with reports confirming on Saturday that an agreement on terms had been reached with the 43-year-old.
- McKenna stepped down last week to spend time with his family, just one month after securing the club's instant return to the Premier League following their Championship promotion.
- Former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was among candidates considered before O'Neil emerged as frontrunner; O'Neil has managed RC Strasbourg since January after replacing Liam Rosenior.
- Compensation talks with the French club are progressing well, and once an agreement is reached, O'Neil's official appointment is expected to be announced next week.
- The 2026/27 Premier League season fixtures were revealed on Friday, with Ipswich kicking off at Portman Road against Sunderland on August 22, giving O'Neil limited preparation time.
