A meteoric rise! Chelsea consider appointing Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna after promotion as Mauricio Pochettino's future hangs in the balance

Chelsea, per <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/article/2024/may/18/chelsea-eye-up-kieran-mckenna-with-mauricio-pochettinos-future-in-balance" target="_blank">The Guardian</a>, are considering appointing McKenna if they decide to sack Pochettino. The Argentine has yet to undergo his end-of-season review, and there are understood to be a divide on whether he should keep his job.As a result, the Blues are drawing up contingency plans in case they do decide to swing the axe.

WHAT HAPPENED?

McKenna guided Ipswich to automatic promotion from the Championship this season, as they lost just six games all season, taking 96 points and finishing second only to Leicester. The Tractor Boys' manager is in demand; he is also being monitored by Manchester United and Brighton would like to hire him as a replacement for Roberto De Zerbi, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/harry-kane-new-coach-roberto-de-zerbi-leave-brighton-amid-links-bayern-munich/blt7baebd10093ce5d9" target="_blank">whose departure was announced on Saturday</a>.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Ipswich were playing in League One last season and McKenna has masterminded back-to-back promotions, although it remains to be seen if he would be willing to make such a huge jump to Stamford Bridge. Pochettino <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-boss-mauricio-pochettino-does-not-fear-sack-after-inconsistent-first-season/blt039a8f21a7275b1c" target="_blank">only signed a two-year contract upon his arrival and has hinted he could leave</a>.

DID YOU KNOW?

Chelsea play Bournemouth on the final day of the Premier League season and could still seal a sixth-placed finish, provided Tottenham fail to beat Sheffield United.
