FORMER EAGLES STAR, ALUKO APPOINTED IPSWICH TOWN FIRST-TEAM COACH
Ipswich Town have announced the appointment of Sone Aluko as their first-team coach.
Aluko , who played for the Blues between August 2021 and May 2024, announced his retirement from playing this summer.
During his career, the former winger represented numerous clubs including Aberdeen, Rangers, Hull City and Fulham, as well as playing international football with Nigeria, before arriving at Portman Road.
His playing days at Town saw him set consistently high standards and contribute to the first-team environment, working closely with his teammates and coaches on the way to more than 50 appearances across all competitions and back-to-back promotions.
Aluko also progressed with his coaching badges – along with other members of the first-team squad – as a player and will now begin working with Kieran and the other coaches.
“It is a real privilege to start the next phase of my career by joining the first -team coaching staff here at the Club,” Aluko told the Club website.
“Learning from the Manager and all the coaching staff here is a fantastic opportunity for me. It is a great time to be at Ipswich, and I’m really looking forward to helping the squad continue to learn and take on the challenge of the Premier League.”
