Dyer: I Want to Be Town Boss - Ipswich Town News

Former Blue Kieron Dyer has revealed that he’d like to be Town manager in five years’ time on I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.

"In five years’ time, I’d like to manage Ipswich Town, I'm a local boy, it's my local club,” the 36-year-old said as the campmates discussed their hopes for the next half-decade, adding, "Having to deal with 11 Kieron Dyers must be a nightmare and stuff, but Ipswich Town because I was there from 10, that would be the ultimate."

It’s not the first time Dyer, who was coaching Town’s U16s until Christmas last year, has declared his managerial ambitions.

Speaking to TWTD in 2013, the midfielder said he wanted to be a manager in the style of Pep Guardiola.

"That’s true!” he laughed. "I want to have a cool suit on exactly like him and just look cool like him on the touchline.”

Dyer is donating his entire fee from his appearance on the show to Ipswich-based charity The Jude Brady Foundation.
