Paul Martyn Konchesky (born 15 May 1981) is an English football coach and former professional player who most recently was manager of West Ham United Women of the FA WSL.

He spent the final three years of his career playing non-league football for Billericay Town and East Thurrock United.

Born in Barking, Konchesky studied at Eastbrook Comprehensive School in Dagenham, and played for Great Danes YFC amateur club, as well as being a product of the Senrab F.C.

[4] He is a lifelong supporter of West Ham United and once held a season-ticket for the Bobby Moore Stand, his idol being Julian Dicks.

In September 2015, he opened Konch's Kafe serving the East End delicacy pie and mash in Brentwood, Essex, employing his mother Carol.

In June 2003, frustrated by a lack of first-team opportunities at his preferred position of left back, Konchesky made a written request for a transfer, which was accepted by Charlton.

[8] He made 45 league and cup appearances in the 2005–06 season,[8] helping West Ham to ninth place in the Premier League and to the 2006 FA Cup Final, where he scored when his cross went straight into the net but later had a spot kick saved as West Ham went down to Liverpool on penalties after drawing 3–3 after extra time.

He left the club in July 2007 having made a total of 70 league and cup appearances for West Ham, scoring two goals.

On 27 August 2010, it was reported that Konchesky was set for a medical at Liverpool ahead of an expected move thought to be worth £3–£4 million.

He made his UEFA Europa League debut four days later in a group stage tie against Steaua București at Anfield, with Liverpool comprehensively winning 4–1.

[24] An error against Spurs allowing Aaron Lennon to score the winner was heavily criticised and Konchesky was sarcastically cheered by Liverpool fans when substituted in the home defeat to Wolves.

[32][33] In August 2013, Konchesky was omitted from the squad and was on the verge of leaving the club,[34] but returned to the first-team after a transfer deal fell through.

[38] In the 2014–15 season, he also helped the club survive relegation,[38] scoring his first Premier League goal in 1945 days in a 1–0 win over Aston Villa on 10 January 2015.
