Ipswich Town are searching for a new manager after Kieran McKenna's unexpected departure earlier this month. The club needs to act quickly to get someone in and get their feet under the table before they start looking at new players. Ipswich Town is traditionally slow in signing players in June, so someone in by the end of the week would be good. Replacing someone like Kieran McKenna isn't simply about finding a good coach; they've got to come in and build on the philosophy Kieran instilled into the club. Ipswich Town's new manager will need to be someone with progressive possession football, excellent player development, calm, and analytical - which Kieran always was. Former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would produce a bit of continuity, having worked with some of the guys currently at the club and having watched Ipswich Town a lot. He would be a good fit to continue the club's philosophy. Ex-Wolves boss Gary O'Neil would be an obvious choice due to his Premier League experience. He has improved players and is another with a calm personality, but he may not bring the same level of excitement as some fans would like. Ipswich Town fan and author Karl Fuller spoke to BBC Radio Suffolk's Brenner Woolley on The Blue Hour about the club's managerial search. He would love to see Thomas Frank take the job, but the former Brentford and Tottenham boss has ruled out a return to football management before next season.
