Former Newcastle United midfielder Kieron Dyer has resigned from his role as Ipswich Town’s U23s manager. Dyer had been in charge of the Young Tractor Boys for around 18 months and leaves with the club second in the South section of the Professional Development League.
The reasons behind is sudden departure remain unclear, however back in October Dyer was diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis, which prompted him to make it public that he needed a liver transplant. Dyer spoke publicly about his diagnosis and seemed determined to get back to full health quickly.
However, the 43-year-old has now left his position with Ipswich, much to the surprise of the club’s CEO Mark Ashton. The Tractor Boys released the following statement on their official website.
