List of Ipswich Town F.C. managers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is a list of Ipswich Town managers from the founding of Ipswich Town F.C. in 1878 until the present.
From 1878 to 1936, the team was amateur and selected by committee. After turning professional in 1936, the club appointed Mick O'Brien as their manager who led them to immediate success in winning the Southern League.[1] His sudden departure left the club manager-less for 11 matches until Scott Duncan was placed in charge, remaining with the club for almost 18 years.[2] Duncan retired in 1955 and was replaced by Alf Ramsey who led Ipswich to further success in the league. This included back-to-back league championships, winning the Second Division in the 1960–61 season followed by taking the First Division title in 1961–62 season.[3] Ramsey was appointed England manager in 1963 and went on to win the 1966 World Cup.[4]
Managerial turnover at Ipswich was low with only eight appointments in 46 years, but after Bobby Robson left the club in 1982 to manage England, the club employed eight managers in the following 25 years. David Sheepshanks became chairman of the club in 1995 taking over a club recently relegated from the Premier League and in financial difficulty.[5] Under George Burley, the club failed in three play-offs before finally winning promotion back to the top flight in 2000 after a 4–2 win over Barnsley at Wembley. Relegation followed two seasons later after a brief spell in Europe and Burley was replaced by Joe Royle. After nearly four seasons, Royle left the club and in June 2006, Sheepshanks appointed former Ipswich player Jim Magilton as the manager of the team.[6]
