Stephen Kenny has been linked with a return to Derry City, with continued uncertainty surrounding the future of current Candystripes boss John Robertson.

Robertson, the former Hearts, Livingston and Inverness Caledonian Thistle, took charge at the Brandywell in the summer following the failed short-term stint of Pat Fenlon.

He has been linked with a return to Scotland for non-football reasons – and Kenny could yet emerge as a candidate for a shock return to the Brandywell.

The Dubliner was seen as a messiah figure on Foyleside in his first spell at the club, transforming Derry from relegation battlers to title contenders.

The club finished runners-up in the eircom League for two successive seasons and delivered the FAI Cup in Kenny’s final game in charge exactly 12 months ago.


If he does go back ive heard rumours hes planning to take Paul Hegarty back with him from Finn Harps so I ope its not true, it would be a disaster to lose Hegarty just when we get back into the Premier League

i think it would be foolish for hegarthy to go back being his number 2 when he could manage a premier division team himself

I agree, not much point Higgsy dropping back into the back seat after all his good work as the front man. I reckon he'll give it a go with Harps first and if things begin to go pear-shaped, Kenny could be arrivinng just in time for Higgsy to jump ship. Then again, with the way things are going for both clubs at the minute, Kenny could be Higgsy no.2

Well I read in the papers today that Kenny probably wont be going back, Damien Richardson is favourite to take over at the moment. Doesnt look like Higgsy is going thank god!

Derry are a real mess at the moment, lovely from my point of view but at the same time I hope they sort themselves out before the start of the season
