Celtic fans here in the Tavern are hoping that their side will secure the title against Rangers, after losing against Hibernian in their last Scottish Premiership fixture.
Indeed, the Hoops have been unstoppable so far this season in the Scottish Premiership as they remain on course for the title, with many of our local residents already beginning to party ahead of the weekend. Although, supporters are beginning to worry about manager Brendan Rodgers’ future at the club, as he continues to be linked with the Arsenal job.
So, Celtic may have to look for a new manager in the summer if Rodgers ends up departing, as pre-season and transfer window activity will be key for the Hoops with even more silverware expected next season. Therefore, the club should already be lining up possible replacements with there being very little time to waste.
Nevertheless, here’re TWO managers that Celtic need to consider if Rodgers ends up leaving…
Eddie Howe
Eddie Howe has established himself as one of the most promising managers in the whole of English football, as he continues to work wonders at current club Bournemouth in the Premier League.
Indeed, the Englishman has always managed to ensure progression at the Vitality Stadium, as the Cherries are now an established member of the Premier League and could even challenge for a top half finish in the not so distant future.
Therefore, Celtic should look to bring another one of English football’s most promising managers to the Scottish Premiership, as Howe has the managerial potential that’s required to take the Hoops to the next level.
Steve Clarke
Steve Clarke fits the bill for several reasons, as he is a hugely respected coach and has a vast network of contacts at top clubs in English football that could prove crucial when it comes to the summer transfer window.
Indeed, the 54-year-old is already working in Scotland as Kilmarnock’s manager and has brought the best out of them this season, as they managed to secure a place in the Championship round.
Therefore, Celtic should look to bring Clarke to Celtic Park if Rodgers decides to depart at the end of the season, as a manager that has already excelled in the Scottish Premiership and may be able to bring in a couple of high-profile players.
