Stephen Kenny reflects on aging in football management

Stephen Kenny, former Ireland football manager, reflected on his long career, noting a recent conversation that highlighted his age compared to players and their parents. At 53, he realizes he is now over a decade older than some players' parents. Kenny began managing at 26 and has since led several teams, including St Patrick’s Athletic and the Ireland national team. He acknowledged feeling the passage of time in football, as he transitions back to the League of Ireland after years in international management. Despite his extensive experience, Kenny is still adapting to the League of Ireland after nearly six years away. He is focused on re-learning the league dynamics and assessing top players since returning.
