Town Confirm Kiwomya\'s Exit - Ipswich Town News

Town have confirmed that reserves coach Chris Kiwomya has left Portman Road, as reported by TWTD last week. Kiwomya returned to the club where he had been a player in the summer of 2008.

Chief executive Simon Clegg said: "I can confirm that Chris has left the club on mutually agreed terms.

"I'd like to thank him for his outstanding contribution to Ipswich Town and wish him well for the future."

Kiwomya, who led his team to the Totesport.com Football Combination East Division title this season, added: "I have enjoyed my time at Ipswich Town and wish the club every success for the future. I hope they win promotion and get back in the Premier League where they belong."

Goalkeeper-coach James Hollman and fitness coach Simon Thadani are also on their way out of the club this summer.

Paul Jewell’s former Wigan keeper Mike Pollitt — who had a one-game loan spell at Portman Road in 2006 - is expected to take over from Hollman, while the Town boss wants one-time Blues striker David Lowe to join his coaching staff, although probably not as a reserve coach with Town’s second string playing only friendlies next season.
