McKenna, 37 years and 132 days old, is currently England's youngest manager in any of their top four divisions. He took on an existing League One club and has already led them back up the divisions.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had an injury-induce retirement at 22 before progressing through Tottenham's youth setup and then Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's United squad.

How he got the job

Last season, McKenna led Ipswich from League One into the Championship in just his first full campaign at Portman Road. Although they eventually finished second to champion Plymouth Argyle, their Tractor Boys scored 101 goals while losing four matches and playing an exciting and dominant brand of football that was alien to England's third tier leagues.

Ipswich Town have welcomed in a new era under Northern Irish manager Paul Lambert. Fans are taking great delight in watching their team climb the table, with some even suggesting it might reach Premier League status for the first time since 2002.

On Saturday, Ipswich travel to Derby County - an opponent they have defeated five times this season in league action and who currently top the Championship table - which they have outwitted five times thus far this campaign and who currently lead it by 17 points. They remain far away from automatic promotion, though; and this will be one of three crucial matchups they face over the coming two weeks.

His approach

After having his playing career cut short by an injury at 22 years old, McKenna quickly established himself as an esteemed academy coach before moving into senior management roles for Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United. His approach appears successful at Portman Road where his players feel respected while their individuality is encouraged by him.

Last season they won promotion from League One by scoring 101 goals; now, with an incredible goal difference over any of their rivals in the Championship, their attacking vision under coach Brian Keane has certainly proven its effectiveness.

He demands his teams play with pace, directness and confidence; building up quickly and efficiently - especially at lower-tier clubs where mistakes can be more costly. McKenna has become popular with higher-level clubs; whether that be Ipswich Town FC or another side; his style seems inevitable to find itself managing in the Premier League shortly.

His style of play

McKenna has brought an aggressive style of play to Ipswich Town this season, surpassing even League One's top scorers in terms of goals scored. On Friday evening against Rotherham United (live on Sky Sports) his side will look to continue their assault.

Northern Irishman Michael McGoldrick has not shied away from taking on high-stakes challenges, and his experience across both tiers of English football has proved valuable to him. After joining Manchester United as an Under 18s coach in 2016, quickly earning promotion to first team staff before taking charge at Ipswich Town. Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer used him in their backroom teams before appointing him as manager at United.

Gamechanger 20 have made no secret of their desire to return Ipswich Town FC to the Premier League. But, despite offers from clubs higher up in Division Two, McKenna seems determined to stay with Ipswich for an extended period - citing: 'There is an incredible bond between players, fans, staff and ownership that cannot be broken'.

His squad

The Tractor Boys boast an abundance of talent at their disposal, from standout signings such as Burns, Chaplin and Leif Davis to players such as Freddie Ladapo, Jack Taylor and Sone Aluko; McKenna has assembled a side that is taking aim at the Championship with aggressiveness.

Ipswich manager Martin O'Neill has even recruited former Manchester United goalkeeper Lee Grant as strikers coach - an inspired move which has yielded positive results; Ipswich are currently top of the EFL for shots, shots on target and expected goals while boasting one of the strongest defensive records in their division.

McKenna's rise is remarkable when you consider that he was only 37 years, 132 days old when he led his side out to victory against Blackburn on Saturday. While never making an impactful mark as a player in England, he now establishes himself as one of the youngest managers across all four tiers of English football and deserves every bit of praise and acclaim he receives for this achievement.
