Celtic Appoint Martin O’Neill As Permanent Manager On A One-year Deal
The appointment comes after O’Neill guided Celtic to a remarkable domestic double last season, leading the club to the Scottish Premiership title and Scottish Cup triumph. Celtic said the experienced manager would continue to lead the team as it prepares for domestic and European challenges in the upcoming campaign.
O’Neill returned to Celtic in October last year on an interim basis, nearly two decades after his highly successful first spell at the club between 2000 and 2005. He stepped in following Brendan Rodgers’ departure and oversaw eight domestic matches, winning all of them, while the team's only defeat during that period came against Midtjylland in the Europa League. He later made way for Wilfried Nancy in December before being brought back to lead the side through the latter stages of the season.
