Stephen Kenny (footballer) CIS Cup and several humiliating defeats in the league left Dunfermline significantly behind the leading teams in the First Division and cost him his job, in spite of a run to the lower-league Scottish Challenge Cup Final. After one year in charge, on 4 December 2007, Kenny was sacked as Dunfermline Athletic manager. Striker Jim McIntyre – injured for much of Kenny's reign – took charge as caretaker of the club. Following his departure from Dunfermline Athletic and the sacking of Derry City manager John Robertson, Kenny was strongly linked with a return to the League of Ireland club. In
