Cardiff Target Blues U18s Coach Dyer - Ipswich Town News

Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock is keen to add Blues U18s assistant manager Kieron Dyer to his coaching staff, TWTD understands.

Dyer, 40, played for Warnock at QPR, while his former Newcastle United team-mate and close friend Craig Bellamy is the Bluebirds’ U18s coach.

The 33-times-capped England international is currently assistant manager of Town’s U18s working alongside Adem Atay, their side having reached the Professional Development League Two play-offs this season after finishing second in their division, coincidentally behind Cardiff.

We understand Warnock, whose team will be back in the Championship next season after one year in the Premier League, has made an approach to Town for Dyer, who he previously targeted in the summer of 2017, with a view to him working with his club's U23s.

Ipswich-born Dyer, who previously worked with the Blues’ U16s and was involved with the England U20s set-up earlier this season, is well settled in Suffolk and it appears unlikely that he would make a move to South Wales, however, the former midfielder’s progress as a coach may also have caught the eye of other clubs.
