Nunez: My Ipswich Move Was Driven by Championship Ambition

Marcelino Nunez is preparing for a fiery reception at Carrow Road as he faces his former club Norwich with Ipswich. The Chile international made the switch from Norwich to Ipswich in August, becoming the first player to do so since Andy Marshall in 2001. Nunez played a crucial role in Ipswich's 3-1 win over Norwich, ending a 16-year wait for a victory over their rivals. He scored the goal that settled the previous East Anglian derby in Norwich's favor and helped Ipswich beat their rivals for the first time in 16 years. Nunez has been instrumental in Ipswich's push for promotion, bringing creativity, set-piece prowess, and goal threat to the No 10 role. He credits coach Kieran McKenna for his impact, saying McKenna is one of the best coaches he has had in his career. Nunez is focused on achieving his childhood dream of playing in the Premier League and believes Ipswich has the resources and mentality to get promoted. He is relaxed about the promotion prospects and is taking it one game at a time, starting with the highly anticipated match against Norwich.
