Foley Set for Reserves Role - Ipswich Town News
TWTD understands that Steve Foley is set to run Town’s reserves, Bryan Klug, who previously coached the second string, having left the club last week. Foley has been with the Blues since being appointed specialist skills coach by Jim Magilton in 2006.
Foley didn't take his usual place on the bench during the Blues' 3-2 victory over Coventry on Saturday having switched from first team duties.
Klug took over as reserves coach last summer with Chris Kiwomya taking control of the U18s.
Meanwhile, Portsmouth are the latest club to be linked with a move for ex-Town loanee Giovani Dos Santos. Pompey are said to want to take the Mexican on loan once their transfer embargo has been lifted.
Earlier in the week, Turkish side Galatasaray, who are managed by Dos Santos’s old Barcelona manager Frank Rijkaard, were again linked with the Tottenham man.
Town boss Roy Keane recently said that Dos Santos returning to Portman Road was highly unlikely.
Elsewhere, former Town goalkeeper-coach Andy Rhodes has joined Peterborough United in the same role having left Preston North End in the wake of Alan Irvine’s Deepdale exit.
