Coaching Career
After retiring as a footballer he became a coach and has consistently worked with Billy Davies, as a player at Motherwell and being part of Davies' backroom staff at Sheffield United Preston North End, Derby County and Nottingham Forest.
He was named as assistant manager to Davies at Derby in July 2007, a few weeks after the club achieved promotion to the Premier League after Davies had spent the majority of the 2006–07 season trying to secure Kelly from Preston, who placed him on gardening leave following Davies' move to Derby. He left the club, with Davies, just four months later when Davies left the club by mutual consent following a disastrous start to the 2007–08 season. He followed Davies to Nottingham Forest, again being named as assistant manager on 1 January 2009. He left Forest in June 2011 when his contract was terminated by the club following the departure of Billy Davies.
