As someone who has watched Slavia for the last 15 years, I can see why he is linked with Celtic. Didn't play the game to any serious level but made the move in to coaching early, managing part time while working in a bar that showed British football. He was a Liverpool fan growing up (He asked Gerrard to sign a book for him when they played Rangers in Prague and Gerrard refused) and said a couple of years ago he wanted to meet Liverpool and Celtic in Europe to experience the atmosphere at the grounds. When they got to the Semi-Finals in Europe a couple of years ago, there were reports that he had started learning English due to the interest coming in for him. His recruitment is very domestic, taking the top players from other clubs round about and developing, he also plays a lot of youth players. His recruitment has been good over the last few years and made Slavia a fortune in transfer fees. Soucek and Coufal at West Ham, Kral who just moved to Union Berlin, Bah of Benfica. Olayenka has just left on a Bosman and is expected to make a big move. He has been the most consistent manager in my time following Slavia and continually rebuilds every year after the heart is ripped out of his team every year in player sales. I can see why he would be linked with Celtic. Would he move? he most likely has a job for life at Slavia, Slavia are a wealthy club and he is virtually guaranteed European football every year so a move to Celtic doesn't appear to be a massive step up in managerial terms. In terms of size of club, Celtic are bigger. The most likely attraction would be the medium term goal of managing at the top end of English football and a few good years at Celtic would make that more likely for him. That’s a decent post IMO. Never heard of the guy, but it sounds like someone who should be considered. Seems he would be a safe and solid appointment but could he cope with the Old Filth goldfish bowl? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Celtic is the easiest managerial job in football no matter how much the fans like to say otherwise to pretend it's interesting after winning yet another treble spending 10x more than anyone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ange Postecoglu Trebles: 2022/23 Doubles: 2021/22 Neil Lennon Trebles: 2019/20 Doubles: 2018/19 Brendan Rodgers Trebles: 2016/17, 2017/18 Ronny Deila Doubles: 2014/15 Neil Lennon Doubles: 2012/13 Tony Mowbray - So, really, since Rangers died a decade ago and your only real financial rival vanished into the abyss, only Deila has failed to win a treble, alongside Lennons complete mental collapse during the Covid season. 18/19s treble was split between Rodgers and Lennon. Before that it wasnt as common as Mowbray/Strachan never managed a treble (havent checked but i think O'Neill did?). Sometimes one trophy isn't enough for the board (or fans). Lennon sacked after 1 trophy in 13/14, Deila sacked after 1 trophy in 15/16, Lennon sacked with 0 trophies 20/21.

Interesting take since you just papped out a manager who won 1 of the only 2 trophies you have won since your return and took you to a European final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he is insinuating a treble doesn’t count for Lennon because the SPFL season of 19/20 was curtailed early. If so, that would be some climb down.

No sorry will hold my hands up here, didn’t read what you wrote properly so made a c**t of that one and was thinking I was still talking of the BR leaving season where he didn’t manage from the start.
