Eddie Howe linked to Celtic managerial vacancy

Speculation regarding the future of Celtic manager Martin O’Neill has intensified following a difficult run of results, including losses to Rangers and Ferencvaros. While Celtic chief executive Michael Nicholson has expressed support for O’Neill, the club’s recent exits from the Champions League and the Scottish League Cup have fueled discussions about a potential managerial change.

Former Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has emerged as a name linked to the position. Howe, who is currently without a club after leaving Newcastle this summer, previously engaged in talks with Celtic in 2021 that did not result in an appointment. Some observers suggest Howe might be attracted to the scale of the Celtic project, while others argue he may prefer a return to the English Premier League to avoid the high-pressure environment of the Scottish club.
