Chelsea moving on from McKenna?
Chelsea’s interest in recruiting Kieran McKenna to replace Mauricio Pochettino has diminished, Ipswich-based outlet TWTD understands.
Chelsea are believed to have held talks with McKenna’s representatives following Pochettino’s departure by mutual consent earlier this week.
But, while McKenna is understood to have been under serious consideration, former Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi now appears the frontrunner for the job, with Leicester’s Enzo Maresca - who had initially been their first choice - still in the running.
Manchester United are thought to be McKenna’s preferred destination should he leave Portman Road this summer, given his previous history at Old Trafford and lifetime support of the club.
Brighton remain very interested in making McKenna the successor to De Zerbi, who left by mutual consent at the end of the season, but it's understood they will not wait around for too much longer before moving onto other targets.
