New Ipswich Town manager Jim Magilton could not be more pleased with his first step into management.
Jim, with the help of Bryan Klug will manage the team for the next two seasons, in which time he hope to get the club back to the premiership. Jim: “This Club means the world to me and when I walked off the pitch after the Derby game in what I thought would be my final appearance as a player here, I always had the feeling that I would be back sometime. “It comes quicker than I expected obviously but I am not intimidated in anyway about the job. I embrace it although I am under no illusions about the task ahead. “Ever since I started in the game I have had the utmost belief that I have all the credentials needed to be a manager and I know I have the support of everyone at Ipswich Town. “If you have that backing and are united as one, then the purpose can only be to provide success on the pitch. “The Premiership is the goal, it has to be the goal and when you look around the place, it is a Premiership club in all but status. It's our job to provide that status. “It's obviously a very proud day for me, to be announced as manager of such a wonderful club and I'm fired up for the job. I and can't wait to get going with the players. Bryan's the same. We will hit the ground running come the first day of pre-season, you can be sure of that.” Source: Ipswich Town - the official website Talk about Town on our new look Message Board.
