Mark Guidi on Celtic's Managerial Candidate Prospects
It would be a major achievement if Celtic succeeded in hiring him. Many candidates have been linked to the Celtic managerial role since Brendan Rodgers resigned, with fans showing a particular interest in Kjetil Knutsen.
Potential Candidates
- Kjetil Knutsen is reportedly interested in the position.
- Kieran McKenna, Ipswich Town's manager, is also a contender.
- Other names mentioned include Craig Bellamy and Robbie Keane.
Nicky Hayen's Likelihood to Join Celtic
One surprising candidate has been Club Brugge manager Nicky Hayen, known for his work with one of Europe's most exciting teams in recent years. However, Hayen has remained non-committal about the Celtic job.
“I think Nicky Hayen is probably their thoughts at Brugge. But I’m kind of thinking with him, he’s got such a really good CV and then you look at the result the other night, he might be, with the greatest respect, better than Scottish football now.”
“I think he’s looking at England or La Liga or something for his next job. I think he’s gone beyond that.”
Summary
Mark Guidi believes that despite speculation, Nicky Hayen is more likely to pursue a position in the Premier League or La Liga than to become Celtic’s next manager.
