Celtic are set to take their time in the hunt for a new manager. But Hotline callers were wasting no time in getting their suggestions in as the Hoops look to maintain the momentum built over the last two years under Ange Postecoglou.
Brendan Rodgers is favourite with the bookies for a return to Paradise while Manchester City coach Enzo Maresca, former Brighton and Chelsea manager Graham Potter and Bodo/Glimt boss Kjetil Knutsen are also hotly tipped. Stephen Mulhern, Dumbarton, said: “I read Celtic will take their time in selecting a new manager however I’d be surprised if Brendan Rodgers hasn’t been approached for a return. Yes he did leave on unfavourable terms but bringing him back with Scott Brown as his assistant would have Michael Beale quaking in his boots.”
Stefan Arnott has an ambitious suggestion. He emailed: “Celtic should go for Luciano Spalletti as their next manager. His Napoli team played the best attacking football in Europe and he's available for free after leading Napoli to their first title since 1990.”
