Celtic Confirm Martin O'Neill as Permanent Manager After One-Year Deal Signed
The 74-year-old was rewarded after leading Celtic to a league-and-cup double and a seven-match Premiership winning run.
- Celtic officially appointed Martin O'Neill on a one-year deal Thursday, rewarding the 74-year-old manager after he led the Glasgow club to a Scottish league-and-cup double in the recently completed season.
- O'Neill twice served as interim manager last season, securing a seven-match winning run that clinched the Scottish Premiership title over Hearts before beating Dunfermline for the Scottish Cup.
- Robbie Keane was considered for the role, but the 45-year-old faced significant supporter hostility regarding his tenure in Israel as manager of Maccabi Tel Aviv during the Gaza war.
- Largest shareholder Dermot Desmond and Chief Executive Michael Nicholson backed the appointment, stating O'Neill "continues to be the outstanding candidate" to deliver success for the club and supporters.
- The new contract includes an option for a further season, though the club has yet to confirm whether Assistant Manager Shaun Maloney and Assistant Coach Mark Fotheringham will remain.
