Paul Tisdale promises to ‘deliver excellence’ at Celtic after being named Head of Football Operations

Paul Tisdale has expressed his excitement at being named Celtic’s new head of football operations.

The 51-year-old sees himself as a “football doctor” and has been working as an independent consultant since leaving

Stevenage Town in. He takes over the position left vacant by the departures of head of recruitment Mark

Lawwell and top scout Joe 2022Dudgeon last March. Celtic, the reigning Scottish Premiership champions, have

announced that Tisdale will be in charge of overseeing the development and management “of effective operations to

support high-level football performance” as well as identifying and nurturing talent “in line with the club’s objective

to develop Champions League players through our academy and recruitment processes.”

Tisdale is slated to work closely with the club’s analytics department. Tisdale acknowledged his excitement following

his appointment: “It is a huge honour to accept this new role at Celtic and join a club of such pedigree and stature.” I

am excited to join the team, starting my job, and provide excellent results. Celtic expects and deserves greatness in

all areas, and I am confident that the board and Brendan (Rodgers) will pursue it at all times.”

“Having prior experience of Celtic, I am aware that there are many great, honest people at the club who are all

working in the same direction and are passionate about success. I am excited to join them as we work together to

achieve excellence for the club and our supporters.”

Brendan Rodgers acknowledged his delight, saying: “I am overjoyed that we have been able to bring Paul to the club

in this vital new capacity, and I am very forward to work with him. He is a tremendously skilled individual who, I am

confident, will make a significant impact in our organization and provide us with a competitive advantage.

“He knows modern football inside and out; he understands what we need as a club, what our team requires to

operate at a high level, and how we can grow positively and successfully across a variety of club roles.

I’ve known Paul for some time and am well aware of his work. I am confident that he will be a major asset to Celtic,

and that his knowledge, talent, and tremendous work ethic will be critical to us as we go forward in a variety of areas,

always with the goal of delivering higher performance and increasing success.”
