Robbie Keane to Meet Celtic Hierarchy over Next Manager Talks

Keane has proposed a backroom team with Scottish links as Celtic weigh a short-term or longer-term appointment after Wilfried Nancy’s exit.

  • Celtic hierarchy is meeting with candidates this week to assess their next manager, including former striker Robbie Keane and interim boss Martin O'Neill, who won the Scottish Premiership and Scottish Cup this season.
  • Keane has pitched a support team featuring Stephen Glass, Scott Brown, and Jonny Hayes as the 45-year-old manager seeks to land the vacant role after resigning from Ferencvaros earlier this year.
  • Discussions with Dermot Desmond were recently paused for interim boss Martin O'Neill, 74-year-old, who hinted the role should go to a "younger man" despite his Double-winning season.
  • The board also considers Roberto Martinez and Craig Bellamy, while O'Neill would likely retain assistants Shaun Maloney and Mark Fotheringham if he remains in the role.
  • While the recruitment team has begun shortlisting transfer targets, Celtic will not finalize any player moves until appointing a permanent manager, as the board decides between short-term or long-term appointment options.
