Racing Club de Strasbourg Alsace is set to lose its manager Gary O’Neil, who arrived in January after Liam Rosenior left for Chelsea. O’Neil had committed to the club until June 30, 2028, but he will likely not honor that contract. The 43-year-old coach is announced to be leaving. President Marc Keller had assured on May 26 in the Dernières Nouvelles d’Alsace that he would remain manager, but things have changed since. According to several English media outlets, including The Athletic, O’Neil is close to signing with Ipswich, a club promoted to the Premier League. And he would replace Kieran McKenna, who left. An agreement has been reached for a contract termination in Alsace. According to L’Equipe, « the aura of Racing has declined in his mind in recent weeks » and O’Neil no longer sees sufficient sporting guarantees without European competition next season. The young ambitious technician seems to be leaving for other horizons and Strasbourg will have to find a new coach. But the Alsatian club had finished the 2025-26 season with an 8th place in Ligue 1 and a spectacular success at La Meinau against AS Monaco. So the next season is already looking difficult for Racing Club de Strasbourg Alsace. The club will have to find a new manager capable of motivating the players and leading them to victory. And they will also have to find solutions to replace O’Neil, who had led the RCSA to the semi-finals of the French Cup and the Conference League. President Marc Keller and the club's leaders will have to work hard to find a replacement worthy of O’Neil.
