John Kennedy has dropped a strong hint that Celtic will announce their new manager.
Since Neil Lennon resigned on February 23 Kennedy has been in Interim charge with little sign that the club has had a clear plan on what direction they were taking. In contrast Chelsea appointed Thomas Tuchel within 48 hours of sacking Frank Lampard.
Before and after every match the Interim boss had had a to field away questions about the who will be replacing Lennon with the club restricting themselves to a Q and A with Dermot Desmond and a bland email to fans that didn’t say anything in particular.
After the 4-0 win over St Johnstone Kennedy spoke to Celtic TV and a general media conference but speaking to BBC Scotland he gave a little more away as The Sun reported:
It’s probably got to the stage now where it’s went so long that we’re probably expecting something beyond the last game. We’ve kind of got our heads around that.
Yeah, there’s been an element of frustration from the support but it’s not done out of any sort of badness. It’s done because they’re going through the process properly, which is my view of it.
They’re making sure that they do the right thing at the right time. It’s obviously went this far, they’ll obviously have to make a decision soon enough but in terms of the game at the weekend, that will become the priority for myself in terms of preparing the players.
We’ll come in and train tomorrow as we would, prepare on Friday and we’ll attack the game on Saturday. We’ll see what happens beyond that.
Kennedy will host another round of media conferences tomorrow ahead of the final game of the season away to Hibs on Saturday. After that the club has no scheduled media duties.
