Sheffield United Target Klug - Ipswich Town News
TWTD understands that Sheffield United want former Blues coach Bryan Klug to take charge of their academy. Klug was axed after a lengthy spell at Portman Road earlier this month.
The Blades are looking to recruit a new academy director with the previous incumbent Ron Reid joining Ferencvaros, United’s ‘sister’ club in Hungary, towards the end of last year.
Klug, 49, ran the Town academy from its instigation in 1998 until he became Jim Magilton’s first team coach in 2006, switching to a head of football development role a year ago before taking charge of the reserves between the summer and his recent exit.
