Mc Kenna’s Comments That Has Got Fans Talking, After Signing Long Term Deal

Mc Kenna has now signed new four-year contract with the Tractor Boys. After signing a new four-year contract, Kieran McKenna says signing a new deal ahead of a Premier League campaign was just the next step of the journey.
Kieran McKenna has signed a new four-year contract at Ipswich after attracting interest from Manchester United, Chelsea and Brighton.

The 38-year-old coach has guided Ipswich to back-to-back EFL promotions and a first Premier League campaign at Portman Road for 22 years, but there were question marks over whether he would remain at the club next season.

Sky Sports News revealed McKenna was a candidate for the vacant Brighton job following Roberto De Zerbi’s departure, while Man Utd officials met with representatives of the Ipswich boss.

Now, the speculation around the Ipswich boss’ future has been ended, with McKenna extending his stay at Portman Road in a major boost for the newly promoted club.

IPSWICH CEO Mark Ashton says Kieran McKenna signing a new four-year deal with Ipswich is the best signing the club will make this summer.
After putting pen to paper, MC Kenna had this to say, “I am extremely proud to have signed a new contract with the club. We have enjoyed incredible success together over the last two seasons and I’m excited to have the opportunity and responsibility of leading this fantastic club into its first season in the Premier League in 22 years.
“Preparation and planning for the challenge ahead has been ongoing since we won promotion at the beginning of May, with plenty of work still to do before the start of the new season at what is such an exciting time for everyone at the club.
“I am so happy to have committed my future to taking the next step with Ipswich Town and I am really excited for what’s ahead as we continue this journey together.”

Ipswich appointed McKenna in 2021, and in his first full season in charge, he led Ipswich to promotion from League One to the Championship.

It was followed by a second consecutive promotion with Ipswich getting out of the Championship at the first attempt to reach the Premier League for the first time since 2002.

Assistant manager Martyn Pert, first-team coaches Charlie Turnbull and Lee Grant and head of goalkeeping Rene Gilmartin have also extended their contracts.
