The name of Kieran McKenna is positioned as the favorite choice to take over the Tottenham Hotspur bench if the club decides to part ways with Ange Postecoglou. The increasing pressure on the Australian coach, due to inconsistent results in the Premier League, has raised concerns within the Spurs board, who are considering a possible replacement before the end of the season.

McKenna, current manager of Ipswich Town, has gained prestige in England thanks to his offensive style and ability to maximize his squads' performance. After guiding Ipswich from League One to the Championship, the Northern Irishman has become a reference as a coach. Moreover, his prior connection to Tottenham, where he worked as a coach in the youth categories, strengthens his candidacy as Postecoglou's successor.

Tottenham is in trouble

The recent performance of Spurs has been disappointing, with only one victory in the last three matches, including a narrow defeat against Bournemouth. This has escalated doubts about Postecoglou's continuity, as he was booed by the fans after the last match.

Despite rumors linking McKenna to other major clubs like Chelsea and Manchester United, the coach signed a long-term contract with Ipswich. However, the allure of managing a club like Tottenham, along with the chance to bring them back to the forefront of the league, could be enough to persuade him to take on the challenge.
