Celtic manager Neil Lennon reportedly wanted Henrik Larsson this summer.
Henrik Larsson is a Celtic legend, and there was no surprise when some fans of the Glasgow giants got excited at the prospect of the former Sweden international striker returning to Celtic Park.
A report in The Scottish Sun earlier this month claimed that Celtic manager Neil Lennon wanted to bring Larsson back to the club in a coaching capacity.
The report had also claimed that Lennon was looking to add his former assistant manager Johan Mjallby to his backroom staff as well.
Some Celtic fans got exited at the prospect of seeing Larsson back at the club, as reported on HITC Sport, but it seems that the 47-year-old will not be making a comeback, not in the summer at least.
That’s because Larsson has decided to return to Helsingborgs IF as their first-team manager, as announced on the Swedish club’s official Twitter page.
Helsingborgs decided to part company with Per-Ola Ljung after a disappointing start to the season, and Larsson has answered their call, having been a player for the Swedish club and having also managed them in 2015-16.
