Kiwomya Targeting Manager\'s Job - Ipswich Town News

Departing Town reserves coach Chris Kiwomya is looking to take on a manager’s job with his three-year spell in charge of the Blues’ second string at an end. Kiwomya is amongst those leaving the club this summer with manager Paul Jewell reshuffling his backroom staff.

Kiwomya told the club site: "I want to move on to the next level now and that means management. I worked with the youngsters at Arsenal and then had three good years at Ipswich and that's a good education for a coach.

"I'd like to think I have played a part in seeing the boys at Ipswich develop, some of those youngsters are now in the first team.

"Management definitely appeals. I've worked with a lot of good people, both on the playing side and in coaching and now I'd like to take that next step

"It might mean starting in non-league but that wouldn't worry me. It's the challenge that I want."

Meanwhile, Coventry are reported to have dismissed the weekend's somewhat spurious claims that they were interested in signing Blues loanee Jimmy Bullard from Hull.

Bullard is understood to have returned from his weekend away in Spain with Connor Wickham and other members of the Town squad.
