He has led the Tractor Boys back to the Championship, with the team instantly getting into the promotion mix at the top of the second division table.
This has naturally led to speculation over his future, with the likes of Crystal Palace circling around the 37-year-old.
McKenna has so far remained committed to Ipswich, but his resolve may be tested in the near future.
Carlton Palmer: McKenna “more than likely to stay”
Palmer believes that a move to Palace is unlikely for McKenna due to the backing he’s received by the Ipswich owners.
He has claimed that the manager’s departure would only be for a club even bigger than the Eagles.
“Kieran McKenna has done a fantastic job at Ipswich Town,” Palmer told Football League World.
