Kieran McKenna turned the fastest manager to reach 100 wins as Ipswich Town boss with the 1-0 victory over Hull City on Tuesday night time, eclipsing the file beforehand held by the legendary Sir Alf Ramsey.
McKenna reached a century of wins in his 210th sport in cost thanks to midfielder Azor Matusiwa’s wonderful 20-yard strike.
Ramsey, England’s 1966 World Cup-winning manager, clocked up his one centesimal victory for the club in 212 matches.
“My brother told me about it yesterday, it’s certainly one of the nicer sentences that you can be put in,” McKenna told BBC Radio Suffolk.
“What it means, I don’t know, there have obviously been some amazing managers. A few top, top, top managers here have done incredible things, well beyond what I’ve done at this football club.
“I do not want to be in contrast in these phrases however after all, we have gained a lot of video games over the previous couple of years and it has been an excellent journey to date.”
Victory against the Tigers lifted the Tractor Boys up to third in the Championship and three points behind second-placed Middlesbrough with a game in hand.
Town also welcome Boro to Portman Road on 18 April for what may well be a crucial encounter in the race for automatic promotion to the Premier League.
