Gary O'Neil has been speaking to the media after being unveiled as the new head coach of Ipswich Town. The 43-year-old, who is the 20th manager in the Blues' 90-year professional history, arrives at Portman Road from French side Strasbourg, signing a three-year deal to the summer of 2029. O'Neil started by telling reporters that Kieran McKenna did "incredible things", but the next steps are about stabilising Ipswich as a Premier League club.
Ipswich Town chairman Mark Ashton says "there are still conversations to be had" but a managerial appointment is "imminent" at Portman Road, as the club prepares for its return to the Premier League. It comes after Kieran McKenna resigned from his position just weeks after clinching promotion, his third in the past four seasons and his second into the top flight. "Last time we were promoted, it brought real challenges," Ashton told BBC Radio Suffolk.
Manager caught lightning in a bottle with three promotions in four seasons but his need for a break to prioritise a young family is refreshing When the tears have dried, the adage will ring true for Ipswich and Kieran McKenna.

Former Ipswich midfielder Massimo Luongo believes Kieran McKenna has left "a massive legacy" at the club and town because of all he achieved in his near five-year stay. Luongo has known McKenna since he was in the youth set-up at Tottenham and then played under him at Ipswich Town during one of the most successful periods in the club's history. "First and foremost, he was obsessed with football," Luongo recalls of his time working with McKenna.
Former Ipswich Town striker Alex Mathie told BBC Radio Suffolk he is "a bit surprised" by Kieran McKenna's resignation and reasoning. Ex-midfielder Alan Judge is not surprised though by McKenna's decision to have a break from football management. "Funnily enough, I came across Kieran a few weeks ago in town and I spoke to him a little and he just said how much the season had taken out of him," Judge said speaking to BBC Radio Suffolk.
Kieran McKenna's time in charge of Ipswich Town has been nothing short of incredible. Just four full seasons in charge have brought with them three promotions and a first taste of Premier League football at Portman Road in more than 20 years. What's more, the football seen during those first two promotion-winning campaigns was the best at Ipswich Town in a generation, with a group of players who thrived under the Northern Irishman's lead.
