Ipswich Town’s search for a new manager has reportedly placed Gary O’Neil on the shortlist of candidates. The opening comes after Kieran McKenna’s departure from the club following a successful spell that culminated in Premier League promotion.
The backstory and the irony
O’Neil was dismissed by Wolverhampton Wanderers on December 15, 2024. The result that sealed his fate? A 2-1 home defeat to Ipswich Town. The club that ended his tenure at Molineux might now be the one offering him a fresh start.
His time at Wolves spanned from August 2023 to that December dismissal.
After leaving Wolves, O’Neil was appointed head coach of Strasbourg on January 7, 2026, taking a step into French football.
