Former Town coach Steve Foley has confirmed that he has opted against taking a coaching job US side the Tampa Bay Rowdies, as reported by TWTD on Tuesday. However, Foley says the switch could still happen but that he is currently looking for a new job in the UK.
Foley said: "It was not quite as I agreed when I was over in the States. The ball is back in their court, and I need more information before I travel halfway around the world to work.
"[Rowdies head coach] Paul [Dalglish] has been regularly on the telephone and is keen for me to go over, and it might still happen. But if it doesn’t I have no other irons in the fire at the moment.”
Meanwhile, Town’s reserves, who will be run by Chris Kiwomya this season, Foley having been in charge last year, will play some of their end-of-season games at Ipswich Wanderers’ Humber Doucy Lane ground. Groundsman Alan Ferguson has been working on the pitch and the floodlights are also set for improvements.
