Gary O'Neil emerges as candidate for Ipswich Town manager role

Summary

Gary O'Neil has been identified as a potential replacement for Kieran McKenna at Ipswich Town, following McKenna's recent departure from the club. O'Neil currently manages RC Strasbourg Alsace, having taken the position in January. His tenure includes leading Strasbourg to the semi-finals of both the Coupe de France and the UEFA Europa Conference League, though a disappointing season means they may miss European competition next year. BBC Sport and L'Équipe suggest that O'Neil could be a priority choice for Ipswich, newly promoted to the Premier League and in need of a new manager.
