Kieran McKenna, the former assistant manager of Manchester United, is being considered as a potential replacement for Roy Hodgson at Crystal Palace. McKenna, who is currently in his second successful season as the manager of Ipswich Town, led the team to promotion to the Championship in his first full season and is on track to secure a place in the play-offs this year.
As a result, interest in McKenna has been growing, with Palace reportedly among the clubs showing the most interest. Hodgson’s position as manager of Selhurst Park is in jeopardy after a disappointing run of results, with Palace only winning two of their last 13 Premier League games. Currently sitting in 15th place, just five points above the relegation zone, the 76-year-old is the favorite among fans to be sacked next.
If Eagles owner Steve Parish confirms these fears and makes a change, McKenna is believed to be a strong contender to make his long-awaited return to the Premier League, this time as a manager in his own right. McKenna, from Northern Ireland, has been impressive since the start of last season, averaging 2.10 points per game and losing only eight Championship matches. His contract at Portman Road runs until 2025.
