Ange Postecoglou insists John Kennedy is a key part of his Celtic vision – but he won’t block the coach’s path if he dreams of becoming a boss.
The Hoops assistant manager is understood to be on the shortlist for the top job at Midtjylland with the Danish cracks preparing a shortlist in the next week. Kennedy has been part of the Parkhead backroom team since 2014 and was linked with managerial roles at Hibs and Motherwell.
Postecoglou insisted his right-hand man has the tools to be a top gaffer and he wouldn’t stand in his way. The Celtic boss said: “It wouldn’t surprise me if there’s interest in him. He’s a Celtic man through and through but having had an unfortunate end to his playing career he’s made a concerted effort to get as many skills and learning experiences as possible. He’s worked in the academy and first team in various roles. He’s worked under fantastic managers, present company excluded!
