Breaking: Ipswich Town eyeing rival’s coach as Kieran McKenna’s replacement
|Ipswich Town may already be planning for Kieran McKenna’s eventual departure.
The Tractor Boys have benefited greatly from having the former Manchester United coach on their side, with the 37-year-old stabilising the club after Paul Cook’s departure before leading them back to the Championship.
Following their spectacular promotion-winning campaign last season, a midtable position this term could have been viewed as a significant accomplishment, with Ipswich needing to adjust to a higher level.
Not only did some outstanding clubs rise, but three extremely talented sides fell from the Premier League.
Despite the league’s strength this season, the Tractor Boys have spent much of the season in the top two and are in contention for automatic promotion.
Considering they aren’t as good on paper as many of their other promotion competitors, McKenna has done an outstanding job and deserves a lot of credit, regardless of whether his team can win back-to-back promotions.
However, success invites interest, and McKenna is expected to attract even more interest in the coming months, unless the Suffolk side suffers a significant collapse.
