Kieran McKenna to stay at Ipswich Town for four more years
The Blues Boss secured promotion to the Championship in his first full season in charge
Kieran McKenna will be staying with Ipswich Town until at least 2027.
The Blues Boss, who secured promotion to the Championship in his first full season in charge, has penned a new long-term contract at Portman Road.
Since Kieran’s arrival in December 2021, the Blues have won 44, and lost just 12, of 79 games across all competitions.
After agreeing the new deal at Portman Road, Kieran said:
“I’ve loved almost every minute of my time at the Club so far and it’s a proud and joyous day to be able to extend my stay.
“I look forward to leading the Club in the challenges ahead. It’s clear to see the Club is ambitious and moving in a positive direction, but we need to work hard each day to keep going.
“We have fantastic support, great owners, a really strong Board and a staff and group of players who are fighting to keep pushing the Club forward.
“That’s great to be a part of and I’m really looking forward to the next steps.”
“We are delighted that Kieran has signed a new deal,” Chief Executive Officer Mark Ashton added.
“Whilst Kieran’s new contract rewards him for the progression the team has made under his leadership over the last 18 months - culminating in promotion back to the Championship in April this year - it also paves the way for the future development which can be built on continued stability.
“It is an indicator of the further progression the Club wishes to make, with continued investment in infrastructure and key personnel.”
