Kieran McKenna’s progress as a manager and coach was discussed on today’s Football Family.
KIERAN McKENNA’S ‘INCREDIBLE’ progress from a stats analyst to a Premier League manager over the course of a decade was up for discussion on today’s Football Family , the podcast for subscribers to The 42.
“I’d say there are geeks behind laptops all over England saying, ‘That’s me – if you got me out from behind this laptop, I’d be able to do that as well!’Advertisement Keegan made the point that McKenna’s opportunities were less plentiful because of a lack of a stellar playing career – denied to him through injury. The 38-year-old from Fermanagh now leads Ipswich Town into the Premier League following back-to-back promotions.
“It is impossible to bullshit your way from the bottom to the top. Absolutely impossible. The only way he has managed to achieve what he achieved is to be an outstanding, fantastic coach and manager. So there’s no question marks.“That is the reality. He’s supposedly in for Sammie Szmodics. I think that would be a big, big help in terms of them trying to stay up.
