McKenna commits to a four-year contract to remain as the manager of Ipswich.
Kieran McKenna has agreed to a fresh four-year contract to continue as the head coach of Ipswich Town, following the club’s remarkable journey to the Premier League under his leadership.
The 38-year-old’s decision to extend his tenure at Portman Road comes as a surprise, considering recent speculation hinting at his potential departure. Reports linked him with managerial positions at Brighton and Chelsea, where he was even considered a candidate to succeed Mauricio Pochettino. However, McKenna withdrew from contention for the Stamford Bridge role last Sunday.
Expressing his enthusiasm about the new contract, McKenna stated, “I am incredibly proud to commit to the club. We’ve achieved remarkable success together over the past couple of seasons, and I’m thrilled to continue guiding this outstanding club into its first Premier League campaign in over two decades.”
With consecutive promotions securing Ipswich’s return to the Premier League after nearly 20 years, McKenna, previously an assistant coach at Manchester United, has garnered widespread acclaim and emerged as one of the most sought-after managers in English football.
