The Ipswich manager, Kieran McKenna, has signed a new contract, meaning he will lead the Premier League newcomers into next season despite interest from Brighton, Chelsea and Manchester United.
McKenna rose to prominence as one of the hottest properties around after taking Ipswich to consecutive promotions, the second a dazzling ascent from the Championship that was confirmed this month. He becomes one of the highest-paid managers in England and will be backed significantly as Ipswich prepare for their first top-flight campaign since 2001-02.
