In an attempt to retain the Northern Irishman at Portman Road, Ipswich Town has extended a new contract to Kieran McKenna that would triple his present one; however, he is expected to decline the offer as he gets ready to depart the team.
Since McKenna’s appointment, the Tractor Boys have experienced incredible success; in his first full season, the former Manchester United coach led the team to promotion from League One.
After that, they were promoted again this season when Ipswich surprised everyone by finishing second in the Championship with an incredible 96 points.
Consequently, there are serious concerns over McKenna’s future despite the fact that the Suffolk team has returned to the Premier League because of the recognition his work has garnered abroad.
Kieran McKenna receives a new contract offer from Ipswich Town.
McKenna may be a target for the Red Devils if Erik ten Hag departs this summer, according to reports that he has been targeted by Chelsea and Brighton, both of whom are without a manager.
But, Ipswich won’t let McKenna leave without a fight, and The Sun has learned that they have made the 38-year-old a huge new offer in an attempt to retain him at the team. Brighton is expected to formally express their interest in the player.
“In an attempt to retain Kieran McKenna at Portman Road, Ipswich has made him an offer of a lucrative new deal.

“The board of the Suffolk club is desperate to retain the highly-regarded Northern Ireland coach, and they are making a fantastic offer of a stunning new contract worth £5 million a year for the next four seasons.”
