Ipswich Town urged to keep Kieran McKenna despite relegation threat

Football pundit Andy Townsend has urged Ipswich Town to keep faith in manager Kieran McKenna—even if the club faces relegation from the Premier League.

The Blues currently sit in 18th place with 17 points, trailing Wolverhampton by nine points in the safety zone with just nine matches remaining.

McKenna’s achievements deserve recognition—the 38-year-old manager successfully led Ipswich Town to two consecutive promotions, guiding them from League One to the Premier League in an impressive rise.

“Will Kieran stay? I think there will be one or two clubs that will look to recruit him,” Townsend told EADT.

With McKenna‘s reputation growing, his future at Ipswich Town remains uncertain. Whether the club stays in the Premier League or faces an immediate return to the Championship, securing McKenna’s long-term commitment could be crucial for their continued development and stability.
