Joseph Patrick "Joe" Kinnear (born 27 December 1946, in Dublin, County Dublin) is an Irish football manager and former player. He is currently the interim manager of Premier League side Newcastle United.
Playing career
Club career
Kinnear played football as a full back for Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton & Hove Albion. Kinnear spent ten years with Tottenham, playing in the 1967 FA Cup final against Chelsea, a game Tottenham won 2-1. Kinnear made almost 200 league appearances for Tottenham, chipping in with two league goals. He won four major honours during his time at the club: the aforementioned FA Cup in 1967; the UEFA Cup in 1972 and the Football League Cup on two occasions (in 1971 and 1973). In 1975, Kinnear moved to Brighton, where he made 16 appearances before retiring at the relatively young age of 30.
International career
Kinnear was capped 26 times by the Republic of Ireland but did not score a goal for his country. His debut came in the 2-1 defeat by Turkey on the 22 February 1967.[2]
Management
Asia
After his retirement from football in 1977, Kinnear spent five years in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates managing Sharjah and Al-Shabab (alongside Dave Mackay),[3] also spending time coaching in Malaysia[4]. He spent three months coaching India[3] and time coaching Nepal,[5] later returning to England to assist Mackay at Doncaster Rovers.
Wimbledon
Kinnear briefly took charge of Doncaster after Mackay's departure in 1989 but was replaced by Billy Bremner after a consortium completed their takeover of the club.[3] Kinnear was appointed reserve team manager of Wimbledon later that year before being appointed manager at the club following Peter Withe's dismissal in January 1992. Kinnear led the Dons to a 6th place finish in the Premier League in the 1993-94 season. The next season Kinnear continued to defy the odds and Wimbledon finished 9th in the league. The achievements are made even more respectable considering the Dons had no home of their own and had a small transfer budget.
It was reported that Kinnear turned down the chance to replace Jack Charlton as manager of the Republic of Ireland national team in 1996. Kinnear, then guided Wimbledon to semi-finals in both of the major domestic cup competitions in 1997 as well as finishing 8th in the Premier League. Kinnear continued in his role as Wimbledon until he suffered a heart attack before a league game against Sheffield Wednesday in March 1999. He stood down in June of that year and as was replaced at Wimbledon by Egil Olsen.[3] Wimbledon were relegated from the Premier League in the following season.
Luton Town
Kinnear was then briefly involved as Director of Football at Oxford United during the 2000-01 season. However, in January 2001 he resigned due to poor health, yet just a few weeks later he was handed a similar role at Luton Town, who were battling against relegation from what was the Second Division, as were Oxford. On arrival, Kinnear demoted then-manager Lil Fuccillo and appointed himself manager of the team.
He could not save the club from relegation, despite purchasing striker Steve Howard for £50,000 on transfer deadline day. In the summer of 2001, Kinnear released the majority of the relegated squad, and brought in a number of his own men over the course of the season, including future captains Kevin Nicholls and Chris Coyne, along with winger Jean-Louis Valois. The team stormed to promotion under Kinnear's guidance, finishing runners-up to Plymouth Argyle in the Hatters' first promotion in 20 years.
The next season was disappointing for the Hatters, as they were expected to compete for promotion, but in the end they only managed a 9th place finish. In May 2003, the club was sold to a consortium led by John Gurney, and Kinnear and his assistant Mick Harford were then sacked in mysterious circumstances which involved an employee of Northampton Town being the person who signed the letters which dismissed both Kinnear and Harford.
Nottingham Forest
Kinnear was out of work until Nottingham Forest offered him the manager's job in February 2004. Kinnear kept the club up, but a poor start to the 2004-05 season led to him resigning in December 2004.[6]
Newcastle
On 26 September 2008, Kinnear was named as the interim manager of Premier League side Newcastle United until the end of October, following the resignation of Kevin Keegan nearly a month earlier.[7] On 2 October 2008, after a controversial start to his tenure at Newcastle, Kinnear launched a verbal tirade at the Daily Mirror's journalist Simon Bird, accusing Bird of trying to undermine him.[8][9]
