Although it had been announced that Mick McCarthy was set to leave Ipswich Town at the end of the season, the club announced that he has now departed after tonight's victory against Barnsley.

The manner of McCarthy's departure was typically fraught given the increased scrutiny he has been under the last few weeks.
