Jewell departs Ipswich

Ipswich have announced that they have parted company with manager Paul Jewell by mutual consent.

Tuesday's 2-1 home defeat to Derby sent Town to the foot of the npower Championship table, 10 matches on from their solitary league win this term against Watford.

Former Bradford, Wigan and Derby boss Jewell, who took charge at Portman Road in January 2011, suggested he was close to quitting following the weekend loss to Hull and did not appear at the post-match press conference.
