Kieran McKenna explained that he would be “dedicating some time” to his family after taking the surprise decision to step down from his position at Ipswich Town after winning promotion back to the Premier League.
The former Manchester United assistant manager has spent the previous four and a half years at Portman Road after leaving his post at Old Trafford in the winter of 2021. McKenna took Ipswich from England’s third tier to the Premier League with consecutive promotions and after an underwhelming 19th-placed finish in 2024–25, the Tractor Boys secured a return to the top flight once again on the final day of the Championship campaign in May.
