Former Norwich City boss Alex Neil is reportedly keen on the management vacancy at Portman Road.
According to the Daily Record, Hibernian are keen for Neil to succeed Jack Ross, who was sacked earlier today, but Neil is more interested in a return to work in East Anglia, claiming that he is on the shortlist at Town.
Neil was in charge at Carrow Road between 2015 and 2017, taking the Canaries into the Premier League via the 2015 Championship play-off final, having beaten the Blues in the semis.
The 40-year-old was at Hamilton Academical prior to his time with Norwich, while he was subsequently in charge at Preston North End from 2017 until March of this year. Latterly he has been giving advice to his former Mansfield team-mate David Artell at Crewe Alexandra.
Given CEO Mark Ashton’s comments earlier in the week about the recruitment process, the Blues are unlikely to have reached the point of having a shortlist, while fans are unlikely to welcome another manager with connections to their local rivals.
