Stephen Kenny has revealed he cancelled his post-season holiday after St Patrick’s Athletic’s disappointing finish to the 2026 campaign and instead spent a week working inside the Brentford camp with Keith Andrews, his former Ireland assistant.
The Saints boss also spent a week doing 12-hour days at Championship side Derby County, where John Eustace (his former assistant coach) is in charge, to study how they operate and bring back some information to Richmond Park ahead of the 2026 season.
