The Keely name has been synonymous with League of Ireland football with his late father Peter playing for Shelbourne, his brother Joe played on the same Home Farm FAI Cup winning side...

Was appointed Kildare County's first manager leading the club to 5th position in their maiden season. Keely had previously been in charge of Shamrock Rovers and Dundalk F.C., Shelbourne FC amongst others. Quite a lot of well-known managers have served under Dermot Keely down through the years.

Under Keely Kildare County had played 47 games, winning 21, drawing 12 and were defeated in 14. Dermot was quoted as saying on his departure from the club that it had nothing to do with Kildare County but that the chance to manage Derry City was too big a chance to turn down. “I spent the whole weekend agonising over my decision and finally it came down to the fact that I will be able to reside in Donegal and also the chance to manage at the highest level - I have the greatest of respect for all at Kildare County and wish them all the best in the future and I am sure that they will replace me and continue to go from strength to strength – I have made a lot of good friends in Kildare and it will the second result that I will be looking for every week”. Dermot Keely's who had succeeded Kevin Mahon, tenure at Derry city was short however lasting less than a single season. Keely tendered his resignation to the Board of Directors stating that he didn't have what was required to secure the Brandywell club's position in the top flight following a 2-0 defeat to UCD.

It was the first time in the history of League of Ireland football that a club had folded mid season due to financial reasons. Dermot Keely wrongly blamed the Eircom Leagues move to summer football, "Who is going to these summer soccer games on the hottest days of the year? What crowds are we getting? All of this has been done to help get some good results in Europe but does that have to come at the cost of losing a club?" and was also quoted as saying that more dark days lie ahead. Keely returned to troubled club Shelbourne as their new manager two weeks before the start of the 2007 season.
