✅ Main takeaway:
It has been suggested that McKenna would be open to speaking to Celtic given his childhood allegiances.
“As we grow up, we all have our affinities,” he said when asked about it. “I don’t think everyone should announce who they are, but of course it’s a really big football club.”
McKenna signed a new four-year contract in 2024 and was asked about his £5 million release clause.
He replied: “In every coach’s contract, there are things.” “I don’t know what mine is, and if I did, I wouldn’t tell you anyway!
“I’m treating this job like I’m going to be Ipswich manager forever. I know that won’t always be the case, but I will always give my best as long as I’m here.”
Bellamy played for Celtic on loan from Newcastle United in 2005, but the former Wales striker is considering completing the current World Cup campaign, a situation that would rule the 46-year-old out of taking over as Celtic manager immediately.
Wales currently ranks third in its qualifying group behind leaders Belgium and second-placed North Macedonia.
Victories over Liechtenstein and North Macedonia in November would seal their place in the qualifiers, but they are certain of doing so, thanks to their successful UEFA Nations League campaign, even if they fail to finish second in Group J.
Given his current situation, Bellamy, whose contract expires after Euro 2028, will not be available until after the qualifiers at the earliest.
