Colin Healy

What draws me to Colin Healy is the full arc of a working footballer's life. He earned his stripes the hard way, five years at Celtic and three at Sunderland, never the marquee name but always dependable. Then he came home, taking charge of Cork City in his own backyard before building up Kerry FC. I find that loyalty to place quietly moving. Plenty of ex-pros chase glamour; Healy returned to the grind of management in the League of Ireland, where the work is unglamorous and the rewards modest. To me he embodies football's real backbone, the people who keep the game standing.

Colin Healy (born 14 March 1980) is an Irish football manager and former player. He was appointed manager of Cork City FC in late 2020, and held the post until May 2023. He has been the manager of League of Ireland First Division club Kerry FC since May 2025. He started his senior career at Celtic, spending five years with the Scottish club before joining English side Sunderland in 2003, where he spent three years.
