McKenna Nominated For Manager of the Season - Ipswich Town News
Town boss Kieran McKenna has been nominated for the EFL Championship Manager of the Season award.
The Blues boss is short-listed alongside Daniel Farke of Leeds and Hull City’s Liam Rosenior.
The winner will be announced at the EFL’s annual awards ceremony which will be held in London on Sunday 14th April.
Perhaps surprisingly, no Town players are nominated for the division’s Player of the Season gong with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (Leicester City), Crysencio Summerville (Leeds United) and Sammie Szmodics (Blackburn Rovers) those in the running.
The Goal of the Season award, in which Wes Burns must be a strong contender for his strike against Coventry, and the divisional select XIs will be announced on the night.
