Strasbourg has named Portuguese Hugo Oliveira as their new coach on Sunday after Gary O’Neil’s abrupt departure to the Premier League.

The former Wolves manager, O’Neil, left the Ligue 1 side for Ipswich on 26 June, having only arrived in France in January, replacing Liam Rosenior.

Strasbourg did not state the length of Oliveira’s contract as the 47-year-old arrives from Portuguese top-flight outfit Famalicao, which was his first job as head coach.

“It’s an honour to be here in Strasbourg and to join such a great project,” he said in a club statement.

“I want to bring emotion, create memories, and give the best of myself to help the club to develop,” he added.
