The England national team coaching position sees an unexpected candidate.

Kieran McKenna has emerged as a surprising and even shocking candidate for the head coach position of the England national team.

The Football Association (FA) is still in the process of searching for a new head coach for the national team following the departure of Gareth Southgate.

Many candidates have been listed by experts and players as the most suitable to lead the Three Lions to glory after years of waiting, including Jurgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola, Eddie Howe, Graham Potter, and others. However, there have been no clear moves between the parties in these discussions.

According to an update from The Sun, after a period of silence, the FA has now returned with renewed vigor and has surprisingly set its sights on the young coach McKenna for the England national team, with the aim of appointing a national team manager for at least the next year.

The Sun reports that the person currently in charge of finding the new head coach for the England national team, director John McDermott, has drawn up a list of the most highly potential candidates, rather than famous names or the unrealistic desires of dreamy fans.

Kieran McKenna tops this list, thanks to his outstanding success at Portman Road, particularly his achievement of bringing the small club Ipswich Town to play in the Premier League.

In the past, McKenna joined Manchester United as the head coach of the U18 team and later became an assistant coach for the first team before moving on to take up the job at Ipswich Town.

Additionally, The Sun also lists other names that may be under careful consideration, including Mauricio Pochettino, Thomas Tuchel, and Joachim Low. However, these three strategists are not highly rated in terms of their current ability to take over the Three Lions.
