Hunt is Scout - Ipswich Town News

Sources in Scandinavia are suggesting that former Karlmar FF manager Simon Hunt is the man who will be come Town's second European Scout. Hunt, a former Wrexham player, left Britain to pursue a career with IF Elfsborg in Sweden some years ago and has spent his time there ever since. The 36-year-old was sacked in September as manager of Kalmar FF, aSwedish second division side, and has been looking for work ever since. Previously Stuart Baxter, the AIK Solna coach, was linked with the job, although some suggested the European Scout's job might be a major step down for him.

Anything further any of our Scandinavian correspondents can add we'd be grateful: news@twtd.co.uk
