Kieran McKenna has stepped down as Ipswich boss and will take a break from football.

The Fermanagh man had been linked to a number of jobs but he won't be taking over at Fulham or anywhere else in the near future.

McKenna who guided Ipswich to three promotions in the last four years including the most recent back to the Premier League says he wants to dedicate time to his family.

Wolves have sacked Rob Edwards after just seven months in the role.

The 43-year-old was instrumental in signing Kieran Trippier and Raul Jimenez in free transfers this week, but they were relegated to the Championship last season.

It's reported Portuguese manager Cesar Peixoto is being lined up to replace Edwards.
