Reports: Keane to helm Ipswich

Reports last night suggested former Sunderland boss Roy Keane could be named as Jim Magilton’s replacement as boss of Ipswich before the end of the week, but there was no formal word from Portman Road.

The Coca-Cola Championship club sacked Jim Magilton yesterday morning after a disappointing season which has seen any dim hopes of a play-off challenge fade into mid-table mediocrity.
