retired from playing in April 2017. After retirement from playing he was Cork City's "head of academy" for a number of seasons before being appointed "first team head coach" in December 2020. International career Healy played and scored a goal against Australia at the FIFA World Youth Championship finals in Nigeria in 1999. He represented his country at the UEFA U-19 Championship in Sweden in 1999, and won a bronze medal. During the Saipan incident between Mick McCarthy and fellow Cork man Roy Keane at the 2002 FIFA World Cup, Healy was called upon by McCarthy as the replacement should Keane be dropped from the squad. A succession of changes-of-heart by the Manchester United player led to the call-up being delayed and the deadline passing, with Healy unable to join the World Cup squad.
