With the sacking of Tony Mowbray as Celtic manager, reserves side coach Neil Lennon has been tasked with the challenge of keeping the Scottish giants from any more disappointment this season. The 38-year-old, who won his first game in charge, is planning however, to keep the job until after the end of the season.
“I know there is the thought that you need experience to manage a club like this and maybe you do, but I hope to prove that wrong,” Lennon said on Fifa.com. “The most experienced managers in the world have come to the Old Firm and not done as well as they probably would have liked to. Pep Guardiola has done alright at Barcelona, so if anyone is an example, he is. It’s a wonderful opportunity for me and I want the job for keeps.”
Like Guardiola, Celtic is Lennon’s first taste of first-team management
