Ipswich players ‘thankful’ for McKenna staying
In his two full seasons at Ipswich, McKenna’s side have played an expansive brand of football that has seen them gain promotion with successive second-placed finishes, scoring 101 goals in League One and 92 in the Championship.
They finished above the likes of Leeds United and Southampton in the table, though the Saints joined the Tractor Boys in the Premier League courtesy of victory in the Play-Off final.
The achievements have made former Manchester United coach McKenna one of the most highly-rated and sought-after managers in the English game, earning the League Managers Association’s manager of the year award.
“The manager and staff have built a really competitive culture, one of ownership with everyone having a voice and togetherness,” added Morsey.
“We reflect that in everything we do, we have worked hard every day and looked to improve.
“We have managed to stay strong, stay brave and we’ve done it the right way. It is an incredible achievement especially when you consider we have finished above some heavyweights in the division. To do back-to-backs is incredible.”
