In a major boost for Ipswich Town and its supporters, manager Kieran McKenna has officially ended weeks of speculation by signing a new four-year contract, reaffirming his commitment to the club. Amid strong interest from several Premier League sides, including reported approaches from Brighton and Chelsea, McKenna has chosen loyalty over glamour.
“There’s no leaving – this is home,” McKenna said in a heartfelt statement released by the club. “What we’ve built here is special, and I believe in the project, the players, and the community behind it.”
McKenna, who guided Ipswich to back-to-back promotions and a stunning return to the Premier League, has quickly become a fan favorite thanks to his tactical brilliance and calm leadership. His decision to stay marks a significant statement of intent from the club, which is now looking to consolidate its place in England’s top tier.
Club CEO Mark Ashton praised McKenna’s commitment, saying it “sends a clear message that Ipswich Town is not here to make up the numbers — we’re here to compete.”
With McKenna at the helm for the long term, optimism is soaring at Portman Road.
