Kevin Nancekivell (born 22 October 1971) is an English football manager and former player, who is the First Team Coach of EFL League One club Plymouth Argyle.
As a player, Nancekivell was an attacking midfielder. He mainly competed at a semi-professional level, spending most of his career at Tiverton Town, although he did have a short stint as a professional at Argyle.
Originally from a farming background[1][2][3] Nancekivell played for Bideford before joining Tiverton Town in 1996.[4] He was a regular scorer from midfield, finishing as the club's top goalscorer twice, before being given a chance in the professional game at the age of 28 by Plymouth Argyle manager Kevin Hodges.[5] He made six league appearances as a substitute, scoring his first goal against Hartlepool United on 21 October 2000,[6] but fell out of first team contention after the arrival of Paul Sturrock.[7] Nancekivell re-joined Tiverton Town on loan in January 2001 and returned to Ladysmead permanently that summer. He scored Tiverton's consolation goal in the FA Cup first round defeat against Cardiff City in November 2001.[8]
