Loughlan Joins Watford - Ipswich Town News
Town’s former first team coach Tony Loughlan has been appointed to the same position at Watford by new manager Sean Dyche. Loughlan, Dyche and Ian Woan, who has come in as assistant manager after leaving Portsmouth, were all at Nottingham Forest together as youngsters.
Loughlan joined the Blues when Roy Keane took over as manager at Portman Road in April 2009, having previously worked with him at Sunderland, and left after the Irishman, another former Forest man, was sacked by Town in January.
Ex-Blues defender David Kerslake has left his job as first team coach with the Hornets to follow former manager Malky Mackay to Cardiff, along with head of medical Richard Collinge and youth team coach Joe McBride.
