Celtic manager Neil Lennon is reportedly on the radar of Fulham.

According to The Scottish Sun, Fulham are interested in appointing Celtic manager Neil Lennon as their new manager.

It has been reported that Fulham – who will play in the Championship next season after getting relegated from the Premier League – have included Lennon on their list of potential candidate to succeed temporary manager Scott Parker in the summer.

Lennon was appointed the Celtic manager in February 2019 until the end of the season following the departure of Brendan Rodgers to Leicester City in the Premier League.

“Lennon would only seriously consider another club position if he didn’t land the Parkhead gig on a permanent basis,” adds the report in The Scottish Sun.

Fulham managerial role

Lennon did not have a great time when he was in charge of Bolton Wanderers in England, but there is no doubt that the former Northern Ireland international midfielder is a very good manager.

What the former Celtic midfielder has achieved as the manager of the Hoops is nothing short of remarkable, and it is not a surprise that Fulham are reportedly looking at him.

If Fulham give Lennon the support that he needs in the summer transfer window and allow him to build a team in his image, then he could guide the Cottager back to the Premier League at the first time of asking.
