“Kenny has a winning mentality, which comes from living and breathing football at the highest level. It’s great to have him here in the building, and for our players to benefit from the knowledge and expertise he can offer. Not only is he a top coach, but he’s also a fantastic family man. I think that fits the ethos of the club perfectly.”
