The timing of the announcement comes shortly after reports of a possible move to Fulham. With Marco Silva having vacated the hotseat at Craven Cottage to take over at Benfica as the successor to Jose Mourinho, McKenna's profile as one of the brightest young coaches in English football made him a leading candidate to take over. Such a move does not appear to be on the cards, though, as the club's statement announcing his departure stated that he has "made the decision to take time away from football management".
