McKenna to stay as Ipswich Town boss
The 38-year-old had been on Chelsea's shortlist of names to replace Mauricio Pochettino, and was also linked with the vacancy at Brighton.
It was understood last week that McKenna would reject a new contract at Portman Road.
But after he dropped out of the race for the job at Stamford Bridge on Sunday he will remain with the club he guided to the top flight with back-to-back promotions.
He was voted the League Managers Association's manager of the year for his efforts in taking Ipswich back to the Premier League after a 22-year absence.
Former Blues midfielder Cole Skuse is one of many who'll see the news as hugely positive and shares his reaction with BBC Suffolk sports Brenner Woolley
