Former Celtic manager Neil Lennon could be appointed as the manager of Greek giants Olympiakos. The 51-year-old is looking to get back into the game and has been linked with a number of roles in recent months.
According to Edinburgh Evening News, Lennon’s representatives will speak to the Greek club in the next 72 hours. Olympiakos are owned by Evangelos Marinakis, who also owns Nottingham Forest, who was pictured in Greece last summer with Ange Postecoglou.
Lennon has been out of work since leaving Omonia in Cyprus last year. The report states that Lennon, who won the Cyrpus Cup, has admirers in Europe given his track record at Celtic, Hibs and Omonia. In a recent interview, Lennon said that he was speaking with a few clubs about opportunities ahead of the close season and you would imagine that he would have a few teams keen on hiring the Irishman. Furthermore, the report continues suggesting that Lennon has an eye on a crack at England.
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.
Latest batch of orders for “Glory to their name” posted earlier today. Very fitting that the 130th anniversary of @CelticFC’s first-ever League title win should fall in the week we claimed our latest. The more things change…
