Keith Mincher
Keith Mincher is an English football coach and sports psychologist. He is most notable for a very brief spell as manager at Carlisle United in 1999.
Mincher, who played football only at amateur level, worked at Leeds United as a youth coach and was chairman Leslie Silver's choice to succeed Eddie Gray as manager. However following a dressing room revolt the plan was shelved and Doncaster Rovers manager Billy Bremner was appointed instead.[1]
Mincher was appointed manager of Carlisle United on 18 June 1999 but departed the club on 25 June without taking charge of a game.[2] Mincher's resignation came against a background of turmoil at the club under the chairmanship of Michael Knighton.[3]
Mincher has subsequently worked as a sports psychologist at Nottingham Forest,[4] Watford[5] and Colchester United[6] as well as with the England national under-21 football team.[7]
