TWTD understands that Bryan Klug's return to his old job as Academy manager could be confirmed as soon as this week. The 51-year-old has recently held talks with the Blues regarding a Playford Road comeback having initially opted against returning to the role he vacated in 2006 to become Jim Magilton’s assistant manager.
Klug is set to take over from Sammy Morgan, who announced his Town exit at the end of last month after eight years at the club, three in his most recent position.
One-time Blues youth and reserve player Klug was controversially axed by former boss Roy Keane in January 2010 when in a head of football development role. Since then he has been working at Tottenham’s Academy as their assistant director and head of player development.
Meanwhile, new Town signing Elliott Hewitt is off to Lilleshall today for rehabilitation work as he continues his recovery from the hip impingement injury which required surgery and ended his 2011/12 season with Macclesfield.
