Following a season and a half with Port Talbot Town, Kendall left to take up a coaching role with Sheffield United, but later returned to the Welsh Premier League to sign for Neath in June 2011.
[10] Kendall was a key member of the coaching staff when the team won Bronze at the Women's World Cup 2015 in Canada and Euro 2017 semi finals.
[citation needed] In December 2017 Kendall took up the full-time position as Head Coach of the University of South Wales Men's Football team.
This was the only time in the history of BUCS competition that a University Men's Premier Football team had gone a whole season without losing a single match in league and cup.
Kendall went on to lead Barry Town United to the Cymru South title and the Welsh Blood Service regional and national cup finals.
On 25 July 2023, Kendall resigned as manager after just nine months in charge, despite previously signing a two-year contract with Barry following their promotion back to the Cymru Premier.
