Bryan Klug joined Norwich City's Academy as Head of Coach Development in September 2025.

Klug began his footballing career as an apprentice with Ipswich where he made three appearances for the England youth team. He was loaned to Wimbledon in March 1980 where he made his league debut. He returned to Ipswich but did not play for their first team and went on to play for Chesterfield in August 1983, Peterborough in 1984 before moving into non-league football with Chelmsford City and Sudbury Town, playing for the latter in the FA Vase Final in 1989.

He returned to Ipswich as a youth team coach in 1987 and worked his way up to become director of the academy in 1998, producing a large number of first team players including. Ipswich won the FA Youth Cup in 2005. Bryan was a central figure in the development of the likes of Richard Wright and Kieron Dyer, who went on to become full England internationals during the late 90s, as well as James Scowcroft, Richard Naylor and Titus Bramble, who played important roles as Town won promotion to the top flight in 2000 before finishing fifth in the Premier League a year later. A further batch of youth products, including Darren Bent, Darren Ambrose, Matt Richards, Dean Bowditch and Ian Westlake, were then cornerstones of an Ipswich side regularly challenging at the top of the second tier in the early 2000s. Kieron Dyer, who went on to win 33 full England caps and play in the Champions League, said “I always say that the most influential coach that I had in my career was Bryan, that’s how important he was. I’ve had a lot of coaches and he was the most influential for where I got in my career.” Former England Under-21 interantional James Scowcroft said “He was an outstanding coach. I had him in the late nineties and early noughties, all the way through my development really.“He took me to the Centre of Excellence at 13 and I think he grew and by the turn of the millennium - and I was fortunate, I went through the England set-up and different clubs - he was as good a coach as there was in the country. He was an outstanding football coach He had a really nice manner about him, his attention to detail was very, very good and I think back in that day when Ipswich had an extremely strong academy, most people would say the same, he was as good a coach as you could come across.”

Following the appointment of Jim Magilton as Ipswich manager in the summer of 2006, Klug became his assistant until January 2009 when Klug took on a new role of Head of Football Development. He was caretaker manager of Ipswich in April 2009 when Magilton was sacked but this lasted one day before Roy Keane was appointed as manager. Keane would go on to sack Klug in January 2010 to bring in his own staff.

Klug then joined Tottenham's coaching set-up working with the schoolboys up to the age of 16. He later became Assistant Academy Manager and Head of Player Development at Spurs. Here he would work with Dean Rastrick.

He returned to Ipswich in June 2012 to become Academy Director. He was caretaker manager for four games at the end of the 2017/18 season after the sacking of Mick McCarthy, He was also caretaker manager in October 2018 after the sacking of Paul Hurst.

On 24th June 2025 Ipswich announced that Klug would be leaving the club.
