Ipswich with McKenna reached the Premier League at the end of the season
Current mentor Ipswich’s Kieran McKenna became a contender for the post of head coach Brighton.
The Seagulls are in search of a coach as Roberto De Zerbi is set to leave the club in the summer. Over the past months, Liverpool and Bayern have been named among the contenders for the 44-year-old specialist. Manchester United is also considering De Zerbi as the main contender for the post of head coach.
Brighton isn’t McKenna’s only option. The EPL giants, Chelsea of Ukrainian Mikhail Mudryk and Manchester United, are also interested in the coaching services. Both clubs are also considering changing managers in the summer.
Northern Irishman McKenna, just 37, took over Ipswich in December 2021 in what was his first independent coaching experience at senior level. At the end of the season, Ipswich finished in second place in the Championship: Tractor Drivers returned to the Premier League after 22 years.
This season, the Premier League Seagulls, who reached the 1/8 finals of the Europa League with De Zerbi, finished in 11th position in the standings.
