Neil Lennon leaves Celtic
Neil Lennon has left Celtic after talks with the club’s board this morning.
The Parkhead boss took charge of the first-team in a caretaker capacity after Tony Mowbray was sacked in March 2009.
He was then given the job of manager on a full-time basis at the end of that season, and led Celtic to three successive Scottish titles, and two Scottish Cup successes during his time in charge.
His team also reached the last 16 of the Champions League in 2013, beating Barcelona at Celtic Park on the way to qualifying from the group.
Lennon’s agent Martin Reilly confirmed the former Celtic skipper had decided to leave the club after talks with cheif executive Peter Lawwell and the board.
A statement from Reilly read: “Neil has parted company with Celtic
“He wished to thanks the club, the supporters, Peter Lawwell and the board for their backing and wishes them all the best in the future.
“It’s now time to look to the next chapter.
“As it stand Neil is not in talks with any other club.”
