Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna has been named the Sky Bet Championship Manager of the Month for September.
A number of former Manchester United coaches are flourishing at the moment, but none more than McKenna who has watched his Ipswich Town side go unbeaten in September — only dropping points in a 1-1 draw at Huddersfield.
Ipswich are currently second in the Championship, just two points adrift of leaders Leicester City.
“It’s nice recognition for everyone at the club for a strong start to the season,” McKenna said, as per Sky Sports.
“When anyone wins Manager of the Month, it’s really a reflection of the team and the team’s reflection of many people doing so well at the football club, including, of course, the supporters for their role in that. We hope to build on this and keep progressing.”
McKenna was recently joined in the Championship by former United striker Wayne Rooney. They are both competing against Michael Carrick, who is doing a good job at Middlesbrough after turning things around there last term.
Only time will tell if McKenna, Rooney or Carrick are able to lead their teams to promotion.
