In his statement, McKenna expressed gratitude for the opportunity to manage such a historic club and reflected on the incredible journey he has had over the past five seasons. He emphasized the strong connection he built with the fans and the community, stating that Ipswich Town will always hold a special place in his heart. During his tenure, McKenna achieved remarkable success, including three promotions in four seasons, which has solidified his legacy at the club.
