Gary O’Neil expected to join Ipswich Town from Strasbourg

Summary

RC Strasbourg Alsace head coach Gary O’Neil is nearing a move to Ipswich Town FC, filling the role left vacant by Kieran McKenna. A deal is reported to be in the final stages, with an official announcement possible as soon as next week. O’Neil's tenure at Strasbourg has been brief, lasting less than six months. He previously led the club to the UEFA Conference League and Coupe de France semi-finals but faced challenges in Ligue 1, leading to the club's absence from European competition next season. Despite initial assurances of his position after the Ligue 1 season, the club's ownership changed the direction regarding his future.
