Brian Kidd (born 29 May 1949) is an English football coach and former player, who is currently the co-assistant coach of Manchester City, alongside fellow co-assistants Mikel Arteta and Domènec Torrent, and manager Pep Guardiola.
Under the previous leadership of Manuel Pellegrini, Kidd was the co-assistant manager, alongside Rubén Cousillas.
Kidd's first spell as assistant manager of the club came under manager Roberto Mancini, who moved Kidd from the youth setup to become his sole assistant manager. After one year, Kidd became a co-assistant, initially alongside Attilio Lombardo and latterly alongside David Platt. Following the departure of Mancini, Kidd had a brief spell as caretaker manager of Manchester City for two games at the close of the 2012–13 season, as well as the USA tour.
Kidd was also assistant to Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson from 1991 to 1998. In this role he was pivotal in the development of a group of young footballers known as Fergie's Fledglings. Kidd himself was a former player with United and City, and was a member of Manchester United's European Cup-winning team in 1968.
Born in Collyhurst, Manchester, Kidd played for Manchester United (1963–1974), Arsenal (1974–1976), Manchester City (1976–1979), Everton (1979–80) and Bolton Wanderers (1980–1982) in the Football League; and the Atlanta Chiefs (1981) (29 appearances, 23 goals), Fort Lauderdale Strikers (1982–83) (51 appearances, 34 goals) and Minnesota Strikers (1984) (13 appearances, 8 goals) in the North American Soccer League.
