Dyer Resigns as U23s Manager - Ipswich Town News
Town U23s manager Kieron Dyer has resigned from his role with immediate effect, the club has announced.
Former England international Dyer had been in the position since October 2020 with his side currently top of Professional Development League Two South having finished second last season.
A statement from the club reads: "Ipswich Town Football Club can confirm that Kieron Dyer has resigned from his position as U23s manager with immediate effect.
"Kieron had been in charge of the young Blues since October 2020 and leaves the U23s following a successful season to date.”
Town CEO Mark Ashton told the club site: "It has come as a surprise to us that Kieron wishes to stand down from his role as U23s manager.
"Kieron’s played his part in the development of some of our young players and we thank him for his efforts.
"I speak on behalf of everyone at the club in wishing Kieron all the very best with his future.”
Ipswich-born Dyer, a Town youth product as a player, previously worked with the U16s and U18s at Playford Road.
In November, just prior to his stint as interim-manager, John McGreal was appointed to a role assisting Dyer with the U23s while working specifically on players' IDPs [Individual Development Plans]. It's likely the former centre-half will be in sole charge of the squad until a new appointment is made.
The U23s are in action away against Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday afternoon.
