Jim Magilton (born May 6, 1969 in Belfast) is a Northern Irish footballer who is currently manager of Ipswich Town in the Football League Championship.
Until 2006, Magilton was a midfield player who represented Northern Ireland level 52 times. He played for Oxford United, Sheffield Wednesday, Southampton and ended his career after seven-and-a-half years at Ipswich.
He served as an apprentice at Liverpool alongside the likes of Steve McManaman and Mike Marsh. Magilton was transferred to Oxford United in October 1990 at the age of 21. There he made 150 League appearances before moving to Southampton in February 1994. In 1997, after making 130 League appearances with Southampton, he moved to Sheffield Wednesday, and finally to Ipswich Town in 1999, first on loan, then as a permanent signing. He scored a hat-trick against Bolton Wanderers in the 1999-00 play-off semi-final, securing the club's place in the play-off finals.
The 2005-06 season was Magilton's last at Ipswich as a player.
Magilton originally intended to secure a coaching role at another club, but made a tentative approach to the Board at Ipswich to fill the managerial vacancy after Joe Royle's departure prior to the 2006-07 season. Magilton was appointed as Ipswich manager on June 5, 2006, alongside former Academy Director Bryan Klug.
Although registered as a player, Magilton stated that he would play no more games for the first team during the 2006-07 season, but hoped to turn out for the reserve side.[1]
