Report claims that Celtic are on the brink of speaking to ‘leading candidate’ to replace Ange
The Daily Record is claiming that Celtic are on the brink of requesting to speak to Enzo Maresca about their vacant manager’s job.
The 43-year-old former Juventus and Sevilla midfielder is a key part of Pep Guardiola’s coaching staff with Celtic making their move following tonight’s Champions League Final against Inter Milan in Istanbul.
Installing Maresca would be a massive risk for Celtic to take on with just 14 matches in charge of Parma in Serie B on his managerial CV.
Transfer specialist Scott Burns writes:
Record Sport broke the story that Manchester City assistant coach Enzo Maresca was a leading candidate Celtic wanted to talk to. An approach to speak to the Italian will be made after today’s Champions League final between City and Inter.
Who do you want as the next Celtic manger?
Brendan- He is the best available
Kjetil Knutsen- Fresh, ambitious, exciting
Enzo Maresca- if Pep rates him highly...
None of them for me- other options out there
Maresca was linked with Celtic before leaving Manchester City for Parma at the end of May 2021 just before Ange Postecoglou took over from Neil Lennon.
The 43-year-old may be an outstanding coach but management requires additional skills, especially at Celtic where he will be required to fill a big void with Postecoglou’s influence reaching every area of the club.
