Overview
- Robbie Keane, in a Friday podcast interview, said he wants to manage at a higher level and that a manager must believe he can reach the top.
- Interim boss Martin O’Neill said on Saturday that Keane has done really well at Ferencvaros and that Celtic should consider a coach of his calibre.
- The Times reported the move is not agreed, with Roberto Martinez among other candidates and major shareholder Dermot Desmond expected to shape the post‑season process.
- Keane’s case is built on results as he won Hungary’s title last season, reached the Europa League last 16 this term, and has Ferencvaros three points off the lead with a game in hand.
- Football Insider linked a potential Keane appointment to interest in Ferencvaros striker Franko Kovacevic, a former Celtic target, though any player moves would be speculative until a manager is hired.
