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 on Saturday confirming an agreement on terms had been reached.
McKenna stepped down last week to spend time with his family, just one month after securing an instant return to the Premier League for the club.
Former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was considered for the role; O'Neil has managed RC Strasbourg since January with mixed results.
Talks between Ipswich and the French club regarding a compensation package are progressing well, with the appointment expected to be announced next week.
The 2026/27 Premier League season fixtures were revealed on Friday, with Ipswich kicking off at home against Sunderland on August 22.
