Keith Curle (born November 14, 1963 in Bristol ) is a former English football player and current coach . In 1992 he played three international matches for England and took part in the 1992 European Football Championship in Sweden.
Player career
Reading FC and Wimbledon FC (1987–1991)
After his first three posts with teams from the third and fourth leagues, 23-year-old Keith Curle moved to the second division club Reading FC on October 23, 1987 . His first season in the Second Division ended with relegation to the third division. On October 21, 1988, he therefore moved again and signed a contract with Wimbledon FC for a transfer fee of £ 500,000 . The club from London had just won the FA Cup in 1987/88 and started in the Football League First Division in 1988/89 . Keit Curle played eighteen first division games by the end of the season and ended the series with Wimbledon in twelfth place in the table. After two more years as a regular player in the upper half of the table in the first division, he left the club from London.
Manchester City (1991-1996)
On August 14, 1991 Curle moved to Manchester City for £ 2,500,000 and finished fifth in the Football League First Division 1991/92 . With five goals in forty league games, the 28-year-old defender was one of the team's key pillars. The club could not confirm the good league placement after the introduction of the Premier League , rather the performance deteriorated continuously and ended with relegation from the Premier League in 1995/96 .
Wolverhampton Wanderers and Sheffield United (1996-2002)
At the beginning of the 1996/97 season he signed a contract with second division Wolverhampton Wanderers and spent the following four years in this division with his new club. In the 1997/98 FA Cup , Keith Curle led his team as team captain to the semi-finals, before losing out with a 1-0 defeat against eventual champions Arsenal. From 2000 to 2002 he played for the second division team Sheffield United, trained by Neil Warnock .
England national team (1992)
On April 29, 1992, the 28-year-old Keith Curle made his debut in the English national team at 2-2 in Russia. In the summer of 1992 he played another preparation game for the 1992 European Football Championship in Sweden against Hungary and was appointed to the English European Championship squad by national coach Graham Taylor . Curle was set up in the opening game against Denmark (0-0) by coach Taylor from the start as a right defender and replaced in the 65th minute. In the following two games against France (0-0) and Sweden (1-2) he was not used before his team had to travel home after the preliminary round.
Coaching career
On December 3, 2002, Keith Curle took over the post of player-coach at relegation-threatened third division newcomer Mansfield Town . Curle played fourteen league games later in the season, but rose at the end of the season with his team as the penultimate in the fourth division. In 2003/04, the team around their best striker Liam Lawrence (19 league goals) finished fifth, but failed in the play-off final on penalties at Huddersfield Town and thus missed the return to the third division. In the newly formed Football League Two 2004/05 Curle was suspended on November 11, 2004.
From May 2, 2005 to February 19, 2006 he coached the fourth division team Chester City , and from February 8, 2007 to the end of the 2006/07 season, Torquay United . After relegation from the fourth division, his contract was not extended. Curle did not appear as head coach in the following years, as he joined the coaching team of his former coach Neil Warnock .
On February 20, 2012 Keith Curle took over the coaching position at the English third division club Notts County . By the end of the Football League One season in 2011/12 , he led his new team to seventh place in the table and only missed the play-offs due to the worse goal difference against FC Stevenage . On February 3, 2013, the club announced the dismissal of Keith Curle. From September 2014 until the end of the 2017/18 season he was in charge of the fourth division club Carlisle United .
Curle found a new employer in early October 2018 with the fourth division club Northampton Town .
