Former Celtic boss Neil Lennon set for management return

Neil Lennon, a former manager and player for Celtic,

is expected to take over as manager of Rapid Bucharest once again.

Lennon and the Romanian team have been negotiating a contract,

and this weekend’s matchup between Steaua Bucharest and the Rapid-Giulesti Stadium will feature Lennon’s visit.

According to The Sun, the Celtic icon will be confirmed next week

as returning to the dugout with the Romanian side barring any late hiccups.

With impressive spells at Celtic as a player and a manger,

the Irishman is synonymous with success at the club.

Lennon was welcomed warmly onto the stage at the club’s POTY celebrations

last weekend but has made no secret that he wants to get back into the game.

The 52-year-old has shown that he’s willing to take a new challenge

and a move to Bucharest could be the latest move in a largely successful managerial career.

Lennon has stated his eagerness to return to coaching with an interview for Ireland,

who are yet to make an appointment, and admitting an interest in the Aberdeen job.

Hibs may fancy poaching their former boss after Nick Montgomery was sacked,

although they could be running out of time.

Lennon has been out of work since leaving Omonia Nicosia in late 2022 in a surprising move.

The Irishman had led the Cypriot side to a Cup victory

before making it to the Europa League Group Stages.
