Kevin John Bond (born 22 June 1957) is an English football manager and former player. He is the son of John Bond, also a former footballer. He is currently the manager of Hong Kong Pegasus FC.
Bond was born in West Ham, London. He started his career as a trainee at Bournemouth where his father, John Bond, was manager. When his father took up the manager's post at Norwich City he too made the move.
His league debut was made away to Leicester City in April 1976. 161 appearances followed generating fourteen goals and earning him two England B caps.
Wanting to try his luck abroad he had a brief spell in the NASL with the Seattle Sounders.
At the start of the 1981–82 season he was again reunited with his father at Manchester City. 110 games for the Maine Road side in the next three years resulted in a lucrative transfer to Southampton, where he spent 4 years, playing 140 games.
He was signed by former club Bournemouth, with whom he played 126 matches, before transferring to Exeter City, Sittingbourne and Dover Athletic where he finished his career.
Bond began his coaching career as Reserve Team coach at former club Manchester City. Spells as coach at Wrexham and Altrincham followed, before Kevin followed his father into the managerial role when he took over at faltering side Stafford Rangers in October 1997.
