Continuity is key. Celtic have built themselves into a brilliant position and there is no reason to go pulling it apart.
What is needed for the manager’s job is not someone to come in and basically start again as Ange Postecoglou had to do. They need someone to continue his good work. Someone who has the same philosophies and ideals, plays the same way and can deal with a mixture of cultures. Celtic went to the City Football Group to get Postecoglou. People scoffed about it. Scoffed about his appointment and they were wrong.
So, for my money, it would make a lot of sense to go down the same route. CFG are a footballing power in their own right. Postecoglou went into Celtic and adopted the style of football used by Pep Guardiola with the inverted full-backs, the high press and the fast-paced approach. With that in mind, I can see a lot of reasons why Enzo Maresca would appeal as a viable candidate. He is, after all, Guardiola’s assistant.
