Solskjær-eleven McKenna ledet Ipswich tilbake i Premier League

IPSWICH – HUDDERSFIELD 2-0:

Ipswich vant sesongens siste ligakamp hjemme mot Huddersfield og kan dermed juble for plass i Premier League neste høst.

Den tradisjonsrike klubben har ikke vært oppe på øverste nivå siden 2000/01-sesongen. Opprykket betyr selvsagt store penge rinn i klubbkassa til laget som vant den øverste divisjonen i England helt tilbake i 1962.

Resultatet betyr også at klubben på de to siste sesongene har tatt seg fra League 1 (nivå tre) til toppen av fotballpyramiden.

Wes Burns og Omari Hutchinson scoret målene for hjemmelaget i lørdagens seier. Ipswich ender dermed som nummer to på tabellen i The Championship, noe som gir direkte opprykk. Klubben har sanket 96 poeng fra 46 kamper denne sesongen.

Kun Leicester har tatt flere poeng og ligamesterne fra 2016 er også tilbake i Premier League til høsten.

Leeds har også vært med i opprykkskampen, men den gamle storklubben ender som nummer tre og må ut i play off-spill.

Ipswich ledes av Kieran McKenna, som har en fortid i trenerteamet til Manchester United. Han jobbet blant annet tett med Ole Gunnar Solskjær under den tiden nordmannen var manager i gigantklubben.

McKenna har allerede blitt koblet med større jobber, etter den jobben han har gjort i Ipswich siden 2021.

Solskjær har tidligere uttalt seg i svært positive ordelag om sin kollega.

– Kieran var ukjent for meg da jeg kom til United. Michael [Carrick] kjente jeg fra før av. Han og meg hadde blitt trent av Sir Alex [Ferguson], og var av den gamle skolen. Kieran var ikke det. Han er den grundigste, mest analytiske, steg-for-steg, prosessdrevne manageren jeg noensinne har jobbet med, forklarte Solskjær i et intervju med The Athletic.
