Lennon leaves Marbella for elite managers summit
The Celtic boss has been invited to St George’s Park, the FA’s highly praised coaching HQ, to meet and network with the biggest names in the game.
Alex Ferguson will host a dinner tonight attended by Fabio Capello and Jose Mourinho as part of an extensive exchange of ideas hosted by the League Managers’ Association in conjunction with the FA.
“The list of managers down to attend is impressive so to be in among that is fantastic,” Lennon explained. “Capello, the majority of the Premiership managers and Mourinho is to be confirmed. Whether they all turn up or not I don’t know but it is the elite.
“Just to be involved in that is brilliant and something I did not want to miss out on. It was an invitation through the League Managers’ Association. It is a real honour.
“The likes of Brendan Rodgers and Roberto Martinez will be there so a few of the younger ones will be there too.
“There are lectures during the day from other managers and people who organise ProZone and things. There is a lot to pick on and it can only be good for your base of knowledge.
“There will be things that are relevant and others which are not. So it is a bit like doing your Pro Licence.
“I will probably feel like the new boy, I think I’m older than Brendan so I won’t be the youngest, but in terms of experience I will probably the least experienced.
“But going in with the Champions League to look forward to gives me that extra bit of stature.”
Yesterday at St George’s Park Celtic’s youth side beat Crystal Palace 2-1 with both goals coming from Patrik Twardzik.
