Kenny Cunningham

Where is Kenny Cunningham now?

After 18 years of playing professional football in England including Premier League spells with Wimbledon and Birmingham City, Kenny Cunningham decided to hang up his boots at the end of 2007-8 after winning promotion to the Premier League with Sunderland.

A Republic of Ireland international, Cunningham represented his country on 72 occasions and was part of the Irish 2002 FIFA World Cup squad.

Upon retiring from playing, Cunningham moved into coaching and had spells at non-league Nuneaton Town and also at the Arsenal academy. He was also assistant manager for the League of Ireland XI which competed in the Dublin Super Cup in 2011.

In April 2016, the Football Association of Ireland announced that Kenny Cunningham and other former Irish players Damian Duff, Mark Kinsella, Keith Andrews and Stephen McPhail would be working within the FAI Emerging Talent Programme. He has since assisted with the under-15’s and the under-19’s team.

Predominantly working in the media now, Cunningham provides punditry and match analysis on Irish channel RTE as well as covering Irish national team games for Sky Sports.
