Kieran McKenna named Championship manager of the month
The Blues currently sit second in the Championship
Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna has been named the Championship Manager of the Month for September.
The Blues won four and drew one of the five league matches played during September, and currently sit second in the Championship.
He was one of four managers nominated for the award – along with Cardiff’s Erol Bulut, Sunderland’s Tony Mowbray and Hull’s Liam Rosenior – but was picked as winner by a voting panel.
“It’s nice recognition for everyone at the Club for a strong start to the season,” Kieran said.
“When anyone wins Manager of the Month, it’s really a reflection of the team and the team's reflection of many people doing so well at the Football Club, including, of course, the supporters for their role in that.
“We hope to build on this and keep progressing. ”
The scores this month
The Blues began September by coming back from 2-0 down to beat Cardiff City 3-2 at Portman Road.
They then secured 1-0 away wins at both Sheffield Wednesday and Southampton.
There was then a 4-3 home victory over Blackburn Rovers, and a 1-1 draw away at Huddersfield, thanks to a late equalizer.
Ipswich also beat Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-2 in the Carabao Cup.
They face Fulham in the next round of the tournament next month.
