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.
John Kennedy is reported to be considering his future at the club, as he harbours ambitions of taking the top job elsewhere.
The former centre-back has risen through the coaching ranks after his career was cruelly cut short by injury, and stepped into the breach after Neil Lennon 's departure in February.
Kennedy took charge of 10 games and will oversee the start of pre-season while new manager Ange Postecoglou completes his quarantine period after flying in from Japan.
