Kieran McKenna in Advanced Talks to Become Ipswich Town Manager

Kieran McKenna, the Manchester United first-team coach, is in talks to replace Paul Cook at Ipswich Town. After nine months at Portman Road, McKenna will now take his place in the managerial chair.

The Fermanagh native is one of the youngest managers in senior management at Portman Road, and he's already made an impressive impact. Stuart Watson from East Anglian Daily Times believes he possesses all the attributes to be a success.

Manchester United

McKenna spent 13 years in the Tottenham Hotspur academy and youth setups before joining Manchester United as an assistant coach. During his tenure with the club, he collaborated closely with Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on projects.

McKenna served on the coaching staff of Manchester United under both Mourinho and Solskjaer, his primary responsibility being developing young players through the club's academy to become first team ready. Additionally, he served as technical coach to the squad, working with players such as Anthony Elanga and Fred.

He's now back coaching the first-team coaching staff under interim manager Ralf Rangnick at United. Though he had originally intended to stay, the lure of his new job as manager at Ipswich Town proved too tempting for him to turn down.

Ipswich are currently sitting in third place in League One and must fight off competition from Sheffield Wednesday and current leaders Plymouth Argyle for promotion. This will be no easy task for McKenna; he needs to be at his best throughout the rest of the season.

Tottenham

Last month, Kieran McKenna and Martyn Pert left Manchester United's coaching staff and took up management positions with Ipswich Town. Dan Chapman of Leathes Prior Employment and Sports team was delighted to represent both managers in their transitions.

Jose Mourinho was appointed manager of Tottenham Hotspur in November, just hours after Mauricio Pochettino had been dismissed - an event which would become the subject of Amazon's All or Nothing documentary series. The opening episode follows Mourinho's initial days in charge and features some captivating footage.

It also gives viewers a glimpse into the difficulty dealing with a club's chairman, particularly Daniel Levy. In one scene, Mourinho mentions Sir Alex Ferguson having advised him to sign Dele Alli while at Old Trafford.

Education

Leathes Prior were delighted to represent Kieran McKenna and Martyn Pert as they began their respective careers in Suffolk. Notable among the highlights was a trip to America for an exciting tour of hotspots across North America - including one of the sexiest cities on earth (yes, that's New York City!). After returning home, the lads got right down to business. Despite a slow start in their first ever season in the top tier, Ipswich are currently in excellent form and actively seeking promotion.

Ipswich

Mckenna previously worked under Jose Mourinho at Manchester United, where he was part of the coaching staff that won the Europa League, Community Shield and League Cup. Now he has moved on to Ipswich Town where he takes charge of a squad struggling in relegation zone as they strive for promotion to Championship football.

McKenna has achieved remarkable results as a first-time manager, leading his side to 10 wins and only two draws so far this season. Additionally, he has brought in several players from Manchester United that should help the club reach promotion to the Championship.

He has extensive knowledge in the football industry, having coached Tottenham and Manchester United under-18s. With such an intimate knowledge of the game, he believes it's essential for academy coaches to collaborate closely with first team staff in order to provide consistent education for young players across both senior teams.
