Celtic hero Neil Lennon admits no job 'tickling his fancy' as he searches for next opportunity

Neil Lennon has admitted he misses the buzz of management but says no job is 'tickling his fancy'.

The former Celtic gaffer was last in the dugout over in Cyprus with Omonia Nicosia and made an instant impact by lifting the domestic cup. That booked his side a ticket into the Europa League and overcoming Genk in stunning fashion in qualifying they set up a dream group with Manchester United, Real Sociedad and FC Sherrif.

Domestic form ultimately was the downfall and the ex-Hoops star was told his time was up and he's been out of the game since. He's done plenty of TV and consultancy work during his time out of the game and has been mentioned in the betting for the vacant Aberdeen job after Jim Goodwin's sacking.

In a previous exclusive interview with Glasgow Live Sport , Lennon revealed he would NOT rule out a return to management in Scotland. He's had job offers since Omonia but not the right opportunity or project has come up yet. It remains the same situation at this time as he looks to get back to the day-to-day buzz of the managerial world.

Speaking to Football Betting, he said: "I’m alright at the moment. There’s nothing really tickling my fancy.

"I’m looking forward to getting back home and looking again because you sort of start getting the itch after a while.

"I’ve had plenty to do with TV and consultancy work so you're never really out of the game. You just miss the day-to-day stuff and obviously the buzz of matches."
