Kevin Mahon
Kevin Mahon is a former football player and manager, most notable for his double cup success with Derry City F.C.
Mahon began his career at Athlone Town A.F.C. at the age of 16, after turning down a move to Arsenal F.C.. While he did not win anything with that club Mahon went on to win an American Soccer League II title with U.S. club New York Apollo and a League of Ireland Premier Division title with Dundalk F.C..
Mahon also played for Finn Harps F.C., Thurles Town F.C., Coleraine F.C., and Derry City F.C., before entering management with Derry City. Under his management Derry won the League of Ireland Cup in 1999, beating Athlone Town A.F.C., and won the FAI Cup in 2002. He went on to become Derry City's longest-serving manager since the club joined the League of Ireland.
Mahon resigned as Derry City boss on 20 July 2003, following a string of poor league results which saw Derry slip to second from bottom in the table and fighting against relegation.[1]
