Former Super Eagles forward Sone Aluko has landed a role in the technical crew of newly-promoted Premier League club Ipswich Town.
After the 2023–2024 season, the 35-year-old, who was an Ipswich player from August 2021 to May 2024, declared his retirement from the game.
Aluko’s football journey, including Super Eagles career
Before moving to Ipswich, Aluko played for a number of teams, including Aberdeen, Rangers, Hull City, and Fulham.
He also represented Nigeria internationally, featuring for the Super Eagles seven times and scoring two goals.
Along with other first-team players, the London-born tactician has advanced with his coaching certifications and will now start 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 said, as posted on 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,” he added.
