FA technical director John McDermott, who previously worked with McKenna during his time as a Tottenham youth coach, is said to be a huge fan of his work.
According to the Sun, the FA has made it clear that they are open to considering non-English candidates for the role, which gives McKenna a strong chance.
This news comes after McKenna signed a new deal with Ipswich in May, amidst interest from several Premier League clubs.
McKenna joins a list of potential candidates, including Graham Potter, Eddie Howe, and Lee Carsley, but his unique blend of youth and experience makes him an intriguing option.
Could he be the one to lead the Three Lions into a new era of success? Only time will tell.
