Ipswich Town, Gary O’Neil and Kieran McKenna
20 June 2026
Ipswich Town are close to appointing Gary O’Neil as their new head coach after Kieran McKenna stepped down. Compensation with Strasbourg still needs to be agreed, but that is not expected to block the move.
O’Neil impressed Ipswich’s hierarchy after guiding Strasbourg to eighth in Ligue 1 and a Europa Conference League semi-final. Tim Jenkins and Neil Critchley are expected to follow him as Ipswich prepare for their Premier League return.
