Ex-Celtic boss Neil Lennon relaxed on management return amid interest
With 34 minutes on the clock at the GSP stadium, Cypriot side Omonia did the unthinkable.
He reckons he’s matured and developed considerably as a coach and says his best years in football are ahead of him. Lennon’s convinced he was the victim of a trigger-happy football regime in Cyprus where job security for managers is a rare commodity. And he doesn’t think his professional reputation’s been damaged.
Earlier in the summer, Lennon was on the shortlist for the manager’s job at Greek club Olympiakos, losing out in the end to Spaniard Diego Martinez. He sees that as much more encouraging than disappointing. “I came up against coaches from Spain, Serbia, Scandinavia and, of course, Greece and Cyprus. You’re coming up against different styles of football and how these people view the game. Different preparation, different tactics. I really enjoyed that side of it and it does give you a hunger for more. If you look at England there’s a massive foreign influence now, not just in the Premier League but also in the Championship.
"And then there’s a new kid in town with Saudi Arabia as well which is very exciting if you’re somebody out of the game. The opportunity to go and work in the Middle East if that suits you.”
