Ipswich Town is on the hunt for a new manager following Kieran McKenna's recent departure. Among the frontrunners are Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the former Manchester United boss, and Gary O'Neil, currently at Strasbourg.

Solskjaer, who stepped back from management after his time at Manchester United in 2021, is eager to return to the sidelines after leaving Besiktas last summer. His tenure at United included guiding the team to second in the Premier League during the 2020-21 season, and he is well-regarded by Ipswich's hierarchy due to his previous connection with McKenna and assistant Martyn Pert.

O'Neil also features prominently on Ipswich's list. Having played for Bristol City when current Ipswich CEO Mark Ashton was in charge, O'Neil has garnered admiration from the club. Despite joining Strasbourg in January and their confidence in retaining him, he remains a strong candidate for the Tractor Boys.

Kieran McKenna stepped down last week after a successful stint, leading Ipswich back to the Premier League with a second-place finish in the Championship. He expressed pride in the club's progress and emphasized the need for personal time, stating, "I feel this is the right time for me to step aside."

Ipswich Town is poised to make a significant decision as they seek to build on their recent successes.
