Celtic confirm Martin O’Neill to stay on as manager | OneFootball

Celtic have confirmed that Martin O’Neill will remain as manager on a one-year contract.

O’Neill will stay on as Celtic manager after a successful interim period last campaign, in which the veteran led the club to a Scottish double. The 74-year-old returned to Celtic two decades after his first five-year spell in Glasgow, following Brendan Rodgers’ exit.

He won all eight initial games in charge before stepping aside for Wilfried Nancy in December, but the latter endured a disastrous reign and was sacked after six defeats in his eight games. O’Neill returned as caretaker coach again and led Celtic to double success.

He has agreed a short-term deal to stay after talks with the club’s board.

“It is a great privilege for me to continue as Celtic manager,” O’Neill told the club’s website.

“Last season will live long in all our memories and to be part of that success has in a big way whetted the appetite to work again for more days like those and bring our supporters those moments.

“I would particularly like to thank the board for giving me this opportunity.

“Celtic can never rest on past success so we are aiming to drive forward together and deliver again for the club and our fans.

“I thank our fans for their ongoing support, it means everything. I look forward to being back at Celtic Park, when we will come together and strive to bring our fans the success which that support deserves.”
