McKenna steps down as Ipswich boss - send your views

[BBC] [Getty Images] Kieran McKenna has announced he will be stepping down as Ipswich Town boss this summer after five hugely successful seasons with the club. The 40-year-old joined the club when they were down in League One but achieved back-to-back promotions to take the Tractor Boys up to the Premier League in 2024. Then, after relegation in their first season in the top flight, they bounced back up this past campaign. On the news, Ipswich chairman Mark Ashton said: "The job Kieran has done at this football club over the last five years is simply incredible. "When I first spoke to Kieran prior to appointing him, I knew we would be getting an extremely bright, hugely driven coach who craved the opportunity to make his own mark on a football club as a manager. To say he has done that is an understatement. "Achieving three promotions in four seasons, in what is your first role as a manager, is an achievement which means Kieran is now rightly discussed in the same breath as the legends of this club. The mark he, his staff and his players have made on Ipswich Town and its community will live forever. It has captured a generation. "It's been a true honour to stand side-by-side with Kieran over these five years and watch him grow and achieve so much. I know just how much of himself he has given to his job and he should be incredibly proud of all he has achieved. I know I am. "Like so many, I am of course gutted that our journey together has come to an end, but I understand and respect the decision he has made after five incredibly intense years. "Kieran will be greatly missed but he and his family leave us with our immense gratitude for all he has done. He will always be welcome at Portman Road. "Thank you for everything, Kieran. It's been an absolute pleasure." How do you feel about the news McKenna will be stepping down? Surprised or expected? And what have been your favourite memories of his time at Portman Road?
