Speaking to Sky Sports News after his Motherwell exit, Kettlewell opened up about why he had to leave the Fir Park Club
Sky Sports News understands Killie chiefs were keen to act quickly and replace McInnes, with Motherwell and Dundee among those also searching for new managers.
It is believed the Club interviewed around six candidates after whittling down an extensive list of options, with Kettlewell impressing Rugby Park bosses.
Former Kilmarnock forward Steven Naismith and Scotland assistant John Carver had been linked with the post.
Kilmarnock finished ninth in the Scottish Premiership this season, having also been in Europe at the start of the campaign.
