Should Celtic consider Jurgen Klinsmann as their next manager?

United States national football team coach Jurgen Klinsmann speaks during a press conference at the National Stadium in San Jose, on November 14, 2016, about their upcoming World Cup 2018...

It’s nearing the end of the season and it seems like Neil Lennon is no closer to knowing whether he’ll be at Celtic beyond the summer.

Lennon has done a decent job since replacing Brendan Rodgers on an interim basis, winning six and drawing four of his 10 games in charge so far.

But big names are continually linked to getting the long-term manager’s job at Celtic.

A number of people have been linked, most recently Willy Sagnol, but should the Hoops consider Jurgen Klinsmann?

The Tottenham Hotspur legend has been out of management since his five-year stint as USA boss came to an end in 2016 but, according to France Football, Newcastle and Everton are considering him a candidate if they part ways with their manager.

If sides like that are looking at him when why wouldn’t Celtic?

Not only is the 54-year-old – who has also managed Bayern Munich – an experienced coach, but he’s also a big name and one that might help on the transfer front.

Plus, he might also know just how big Celtic are, having spent time in the United Kingdom as a player across two spells with Spurs.

Some Hoops fans might not go for him, but he would also be a fresh appointment and one that Peter Lawwell should be considering.
