Kieran McKenna has emphasized that his primary focus is on Ipswich Town, despite being favored by bookmakers to become the next manager of Premier League club Crystal Palace.
The former assistant boss at Manchester United, currently steering Ipswich Town towards potential back-to-back promotions to the Premier League, has openly expressed his ambition to return to the highest levels of the game.
Amid reports suggesting Roy Hodgson’s imminent departure from Palace due to their descent to 14th place in the top-flight table, McKenna has emerged as the 4/7 favorite according to SkyBet to take over as the next Eagles manager.
Addressing concerns from Ipswich fans, McKenna assured, “No, my full focus and commitment are with Ipswich and the ongoing season, as well as the upcoming game. That’s where all my energy and dedication lie.”
When asked about the flattering link to Crystal Palace, he responded, “I don’t pay any attention to it, to be honest. It’s not the first time in the last couple of years. If you’re doing well, there are going to be links. Football dynamics can change rapidly as well. I simply concentrate on the day-to-day work here.”
McKenna affirmed his pride and honor in managing Ipswich Town, expressing enjoyment in the role and pledging to continue doing his best for the club.
