Neil Francis Lennon (born 25 June 1971) is a Northern Irish football coach and former player who is the manager of Scottish Premiership club Celtic. During his playing career he represented English clubs Manchester City, Crewe Alexandra and Leicester City.
Lennon moved to Scottish club Celtic in 2000, where he made over 200 appearances and was appointed captain in 2005. Before retiring as a player, he returned to England and played for Nottingham Forest and Wycombe Wanderers. Lennon made 40 appearances for Northern Ireland in nine years, scoring two goals. Lennon was appointed manager of Celtic in March 2010, initially in a caretaker capacity after the departure of Tony Mowbray.
It's been little over a year since Peter Lawwell waltzed into the Hampden showers and made Neil Lennon the offer he'd been waiting for.
Quite whether he'd expected to receive it while cutting about in his flip-flops is another matter, but from the moment the final whistle blew on the 2019 Scottish Cup, he must've felt it was in the post.
The decision to name Lennon as Brendan Rodgers ' permanent successor was not universally acclaimed by supporters, with some legitimate concerns despite guiding the club to the treble Treble.
The Irishman took some time to reflect on Lawwell's offer and it was a year ago on Sunday that the word "interim" was scored from his job title.Get all the latest Celtic news sent straight to your Inbox every day by
