June 27, 2026 · Carlos Fernández
Gary O’Neil, current head coach of RC Strasbourg Alsace, is set to return to the Premier League, potentially taking over managerial duties at Ipswich Town FC. The negotiations between Strasbourg's owners BlueCo and Ipswich Town have reached an advanced stage, suggesting that an official announcement could be made soon. This move comes less than six months after O’Neil joined Strasbourg, where he notably led the team to the UEFA Conference League and Coupe de France semi-finals.

Gary O’Neil, the head coach of RC Strasbourg Alsace, is on the verge of making a significant career move by joining Ipswich Town FC in the Premier League. Reports indicate that discussions between Strasbourg's owners, BlueCo, and Ipswich Town are in the final stages, and O’Neil's appointment could be confirmed as early as next week. This transition marks a quick turnaround for O’Neil, who only took charge at Strasbourg less than six months ago, succeeding Liam Rosenior. Under O’Neil's leadership, Strasbourg achieved notable success by reaching the UEFA Conference League and Coupe de France semi-finals. However, their performance in Ligue 1 declined, and the team will not participate in European competitions next season. Originally, Strasbourg president Marc Keller had indicated that O’Neil would continue in his role, but recent developments have shifted the scenario dramatically. This potential move would see O’Neil replace Kieran McKenna at Ipswich Town, a club recently promoted to the Premier League.
