Who Will Be The Next Ipswich Town Manager?

A list of the potential candidates should the job become available today based on previous people appearing in the betting odds when the position was vacant last time, to others who have a profile that would fit the club in terms of the last few managers they have had.

Antony Barry

The Liverpool-born Barry is currently assistant manager at Bayern Munich under Thomas Tuchel. Prior to this, he worked in the same role with the Belgian, Portuguese and Republic Of Ireland national teams. Someone in England will appoint Barry, Ipswich, who showed foresight in choosing McKenna could be that club. 

Liam Manning

Manning, who was born in Norwich, featured in the Ipswich Town manager betting ahead of McKenna being appointed. He has now managed Lommel SK (Belgium), Milton Keynes Dons, and Oxford United. 

Neil Harris

With Neil Harris, you know the style of play he will bring to the club; the former Millwall, Cardiff and Gillingham boss was quoted at just 5/1 for the Ipswich job in 2021. 

Frank Lampard

Frank Lampard features in nearly every next manager market, with his career having reached a hiatus. Wherever Ipswich are in English football may depend on whether he is considered by the board. 

Chris Hughton

His latest position is with the Ghana national team, the country of his father. The former Tottenham, Newcastle, Birmingham, Brighton and Nottingham Forest manager is, however, coming towards the end of his career and would be a brave appointment by a board that chose so well with the much younger McKenna.
