Overview
- Oxford United confirmed Ramsey as their men’s team head coach on Tuesday after talks with the club’s leadership.
- The appointment is Ramsey’s first permanent managerial role following his retirement in April and brief coaching spells with Wales and a three-game caretaker stint at Cardiff City.
- Chairman Dusan Bogdanovic said Ramsey’s ambitions matched the club’s plans and Ramsey outlined a vision of high standards, a clear playing identity and daily improvement.
- Oxford must now finalise Ramsey’s backroom team and strengthen a squad that dropped to League One after finishing 22nd, with media reports linking former Wales team-mate Chris Gunter as a possible assistant but no club confirmation.
- The hire creates pressure for an immediate return to the Championship and will test Ramsey’s transition from decorated player to full-time manager as pre-season work and recruitment begin.
