Ipswich Town’s under-18s coach Russell Osman has left the club following 30 months at the club.

Osman, who began his playing career at Portman Road and made 294 appearances, is returning to Bristol where his family are based.

Gerard Nash will be taking over the running of the under-18s team with Mark Kennedy continuing as under-21 coach.

Osman, who won 11 England caps, also featured for Leicester City, Brighton, Bristol City and Cardiff as a player, before going on to manage the latter two and, in a caretaker capacity, Plymouth and Bristol Rovers.
