Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna steered the Suffolk club to a remarkable consecutive promotion from League One to the Premier League.
Manchester United defender Harry Maguire commended Kieran McKenna’s efforts following Ipswich Town’s promotion to the Premier League. Despite a challenging start, McKenna’s strategic approach propelled the Tractor Boys out of League One, defying expectations for their Championship performance. Ipswich secured their place in the top flight with just a point needed to edge past Leeds United for the second automatic promotion spot, ultimately sealing their return to the Premier League with a convincing victory over Huddersfield Town, courtesy of goals from Wes Burns and Omari Hutchinson.
Prior to joining Portman Road in 2021, McKenna served as an assistant to Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and briefly Ralf Rangnick at Manchester United. Maguire conveyed his admiration for McKenna’s coaching prowess with a congratulatory message to his former mentor following Ipswich’s extraordinary promotion.
Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag faces mounting pressure at Old Trafford following a challenging second season in the Premier League. Manchester United’s failure to secure Champions League qualification and inconsistent performances have cast doubt on Ten Hag’s future. Reports suggest that club owner Ratcliffe is uncertain about Ten Hag’s suitability to lead the team forward, with names like McKenna, Thomas Tuchel, and Gareth Southgate being linked as potential replacements.
