Kieran McKenna has signed a new four-year deal to remain in charge of Ipswich Town after overseeing the Suffolk club's incredible rise to the Premier League.
Back-to-back automatic promotions, which have seen Ipswich climb from League One back to the Premier League for the first time since 2002, made the former Manchester United assistant first-team coach one of the highest-rated and most sought-after managers in the English game.Getting the Tractor Boys promoted from the Championship, and finishing just one point behind title winners Leicester, earned McKenna the League Managers Association's manager of the year award.
They were the division's top scorers with 92 goals, and finished above both Leeds United and Southampton - two clubs with vastly superior budgets after being relegated from the Premier League a season earlier. "For Kieran to have signed a new contract is a significant boost, heading into such an important campaign."Analysis - Nick Mashiter, senior football news reporter
The Tractor Boys have barely put a foot wrong, acknowledging the interest would come after their impressive success but refusing to get drawn into any circus.
