Kieran McKenna has agreed to a new extended contract with Ipswich despite rumors of interest from Manchester United and Chelsea.

It is quite incredible how Real Madrid always seem to find a way to succeed in Europe. That’s the opinion of former England striker Michael Owen, who has been impressed by the Spanish giants’ ability to navigate their way through tough European competitions.

In other news, Kieran McKenna has committed his future to Ipswich Town by signing a new long-term contract. McKenna, who led the club to the Premier League, faced a tough challenge in the Championship with the likes of Leicester City, Leeds United, and Southampton all vying for promotion. However, Ipswich defied the odds and secured an impressive 96 points to deny their rivals automatic promotion.

The Tractor Boys showcased their attacking prowess by scoring a league-leading 92 goals, while also displaying defensive solidity by losing just six games throughout the season. McKenna’s achievements were duly recognized as he was awarded the LMA Manager of the Year.

Despite interest from Manchester United and Chelsea, McKenna has chosen to remain at Ipswich and continue the club’s journey in the Premier League. The 38-year-old expressed his pride in signing a new contract and his excitement for the upcoming season.

A move to Manchester United would have seen McKenna return to familiar surroundings, as he previously coached the club’s Under-18 side during Jose Mourinho’s tenure. He enjoyed success with the U18s, winning the Premier League North title, and was later promoted to Mourinho’s coaching team.

McKenna’s tenure at Ipswich has been a remarkable one, with back-to-back promotions securing the club’s return to the Premier League after a 22-year absence. Despite a shaky period in mid-winter, Ipswich bounced back strongly and finished the season with an impressive run of form.

Overall, McKenna’s decision to stay at Ipswich is a testament to his belief in the club’s potential and his desire to continue achieving success. Ipswich fans will be eagerly anticipating their return to the top flight and the exciting times that lie ahead.
