# Celtic: Marsch won’t join Hoops

**Red Bull Salzburg boss Jesse Marsch won’t be the next Celtic manager, according to reliable reporter Christian Falk.**

The American recently admitted it was an [“honour” to be linked with the Celtic job, describing the role as “interesting”](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56413741).

That led to [several Celtic fans urging the Hoops to seal a deal](https://www.67hailhail.com/news/esse-marsch-comments-are-a-game-changer-celtic-fans-left-buzzing/) for the 47-year-old, with [Parkhead chiefs admirers of Marsch](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/6836924/celtic-chiefs-admirers-red-bull-salzburg-marsch-manager/), but those fans will now be disappointed after the latest update.

### Marsch makes Celtic contact

However, Falk simply ended a tweet on Thursday morning claiming he has ‘confirmation’ that [‘Jesse Marsch won‘t join Celtic FC’](https://twitter.com/cfbayern/status/1372847938305671170).

Falk’s [earlier post](https://twitter.com/cfbayern/status/1372838503319547905) claimed that Marsch told the Celtic board that the interest is an honour, but he will not be available in the summer for the vacant job.

### Transfer Tavern take

Even though Marsch is now out of the running to succeed Neil Lennon, we feel that the club can take heart in the fact that a boss with an [impressive record](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jesse-marsch/profil/trainer/17275) was [full of praise for the club](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56413741) and the available position.

The Hoops, we feel, should now be full of optimism over the coming months in their pursuit of a new manager.

The successful director of football candidate will also have a role to play in that search, and if the club get both appointments spot on, fans could well see an immediate response in the 2021/22 season following this season’s disappointing campaign.
