Kevin Duncan MacDonald (born 22 November 1960 in Inverness, Scotland) is a Scottish former footballer who is the former manager of Swindon Town and is currently the interim manager of Aston Villa. As a player MacDonald was a member of the Liverpool "double" winning side of 1986. Prior to taking his first managerial job at Swindon MacDonald's career most notably included a spell as caretaker manager at Aston Villa following the resignation of Martin O'Neill on 9 August 2010. MacDonald also worked as assistant manager of the Republic of Ireland, with his ex-Liverpool team-mate Steve Staunton, who he used to coach at Aston Villa.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kevin MacDonald )〕 In 1994, he also spent a short time as caretaker manager at Leicester City. ==Club career== A product of the Scottish Highland Football League, MacDonald joined Liverpool from Leicester City for £400,000 in November 1984. He had been discovered by Leicester while playing for his home town club, Inverness Caledonian F.C. in the Highland Football League. (now Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC of the Scottish Premier League). As a teenage player in the Highland League with Inverness Caledonian FC, Alex Ferguson, then manager of Aberdeen FC, watched Macdonald on several occasions, but no business was done. He never commanded a regular spot at Anfield, but he was in the team at the right time, helping Liverpool to the First Division title in 1986 and then to the "double" (only the third in the 20th century) when he helped them beat Everton in the 1986 FA Cup Final at Wembley.〔 At the start of the following season, MacDonald broke his leg. By the time he recovered Kenny Dalglish had settled on Steve McMahon for the central midfield role and there was to be no way back into the Liverpool first team.〔 He later had spells on loan at his old club Leicester and also at Rangers. In June 1989 he made a permanent move to Coventry City and played out his career.〔 In April 1989, shortly before he left Liverpool, MacDonald, along with his team-mates, rallied round the bereaved families of the Hillsborough disaster.〔(MacDonald attends Hillsborough victim's funeral ): ''Liverpool Echo''.
