Magilton Wants Leeds Job - Ipswich Town News

Former Blues boss and skipper Jim Magilton says he’d be interested in becoming the new boss at Leeds United.

The Northern Irishman has been out of a management job since leaving Australian side the Melbourne Victory in April last year and has recently been working as a pundit for Qatari television.

"Of course I would be interested in taking over at Leeds United," he said. "Leeds United are a massive club in England and it would be a fantastic job for anyone.

"I would relish the chance to manage Leeds and it would be an honour for whoever gets it."

Magilton managed Town between 2006 and 2009 and also had a brief spell in charge at QPR as well as a stint as assistant to current Northern Ireland boss Michael O’Neill with Shamrock Rovers in the Republic of Ireland.

The 43-year-old’s former Town team-mate Richard Naylor was appointed the assistant to caretaker-manager Neil Redfearn in the wake of Neil Warnock leaving Leeds earlier in the week.
