The hunt for Chelsea’s next head coach is heating up, and it seems that the search is finally coming to a close. According to reports from David Ornstein of The Athletic, Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna is no longer in the running for the coveted position. This leaves Leicester City’s Enzo Maresca and Brentford’s Thomas Frank as the remaining frontrunners to succeed Mauricio Pochettino at Stamford Bridge.
McKenna, who led Ipswich Town from League One all the way to the Premier League with back-to-back promotions, was initially seen as a top contender for the Chelsea job. However, despite his impressive track record and credentials, Chelsea’s co-sporting directors, Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart, have decided to explore other options.
It’s clear that Chelsea’s ownership is firmly behind the decision-making process, and the club is determined to find the right fit for the position. After a rollercoaster season that saw Chelsea finish sixth in the Premier League and secure European football for the upcoming campaign, the pressure is on to appoint a new manager who can lead the team to success.
A recent report suggested that Maresca is in pole position to take over the reins at Chelsea, but nothing is set in stone yet. McKenna, on the other hand, is not short of suitors, with Brighton & Hove Albion reportedly interested in his services. However, McKenna is biding his time and waiting to see how things unfold at Manchester United, where Erik ten Hag’s future remains uncertain.
McKenna is no stranger to the Premier League, having previously spent five years at Manchester United in various coaching roles, including a stint as part of Jose Mourinho’s first-team staff. His experience and tactical nous make him a hot commodity in the managerial market, and it’s only a matter of time before he lands another top job.
