McKenna Opens Up on Ipswich Exit and Future Plans

Former Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna has spoken publicly for the first time about his decision to leave the club in June following promotion to the Premier League. McKenna stated he felt the promotion-clinching 3-0 victory over QPR was the right moment to depart on a high after four and a half years at Portman Road. He emphasized that he has no intention of rushing back into football management.

During his time away from the dugout, the 40-year-old has been linked to managerial vacancies including Celtic, but is focusing on personal development. McKenna has spent time visiting organizations such as Bayern Munich, Colorado Rapids, and Wigan Warriors, while also preparing to begin work as a UEFA technical observer.
