Profile

Keith Curle is the former manager of Northampton Town.

Curle started his management career off as a player-manager at Mansfield, and he duly had three decent years at the club. The job clearly wetted his appetite, but his second stint in the dugout didn't quite go to plan - a short-lived nine-months at Chester City.

An even briefer three-month spell at Torquay followed - where he was unable to save the club from relegation - and Curle proceeded to spend time as an assistant to Neil Warnock at both Crystal Palace and QPR, which no doubt had a positive affect on his career, as he then ventured back into the dugout with Notts County in 2012 - a team he led to a club record 22 away games unbeaten - while he's been with current club Carlisle since 2014.
