Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna is on Crystal Palace’s shortlist of potential Roy Hodgson replacements, reports Alan Nixon.
Ipswich Town have been the surprise package in the Championship so far this season, having won seven of their opening nine league games of the season and losing just one to find themselves in 2nd place of the table.
Many expected Ipswich to do well despite only achieving promotion from League One last time round. But few knew how well they do go on to do in this early part of the campaign and McKenna has earned widespread praise.
And Nixon has claimed on his paid Patreon account (via FLW) that Crystal Palace have identified McKenna as a potential successor to Hodgson, who is out of contract at the end of next season.
The Eagles won 1-0 away at Manchester United over the weekend to move up into 9th place of the Premier League table, with the 76-year-old Hodgson now in his second spell at the club.
