After a period as caretaker manager, he was appointed player-coach in April 2002, [3] but after just 17 games in charge he was replaced by Brian Flynn; he turned down an offer to remain on the coaching staff, and left in September 2002 with the club at the bottom of the Football League. [4]

Cusack was Swansea's PFA representative, and was elected chairman of the Association, succeeding Barry Horne, in November 2001. [5] He was active in the PFA's opposition to a reduction of professional clubs in the league pyramid. [6]

In 2016, Cusack was elected to the General Council of the Trades Union Congress. [7]
