Former Celtic manager Neil Lennon has been linked with a move to Hapoel Tel Aviv. The Israeli side are in the relegation zone and they are run by Nicky Hammond, who previously worked at Celtic with Lennon.

According to a report by The Scottish Sun, Hammond has told the Hapoel board that Lennon could be poised to make a move at the end of the season.

In Lennon’s first job following his departure from Celtic with Omonia Nicosia, Lennon won the Cyprus Cup as well as taking them to the Europa League. Hapoel are desperate for success and Lennon’s impressive trophy-haul show that he could be the man to help add to their trophy cabinet.

Lennon won ten titles with Celtic, eight Scottish Cups and three league cups in two spells as manager and as a player. He will always be a Celtic legend but it was clear that his time as manager was up. Lennon will be recognised for all that he has done for the club but it may take some time as the 2020/21 season was incredibly tough for everyone involved.
