Ex-Celtic manager Neil Lennon could be on the verge of a surprise turn to football management
Ex-Hibs and Bolton manager Lennon was linked with the vacant posts at Republic of Ireland and Aberdeen, but Rapid have made him their main target to take charge after an attempt to land 78-year-old legendary boss Mircea Lucescu broke down.
Rapid sports director Daniel Sandu said:"Moving forward, we have to figure out exactly what we're looking for and what we want from both the players and the new staff. "At the moment we are not in a very good place, but I have faith the new management team will reset us and show what Rapid is all about."Lennon also won three Scottish Cups and a League Cup as a manager at Celtic and led Hibs to the Championship title seven years ago, and has always stressed a desire to return to the dugout in some capacity.
Rapid Bucharest last won the Romanian title 23 years ago, but fell on hard times and went bankrupt in 2016 and had to reform in the fifth tier of football, before battling back and returning to the top flight three years ago.Readers’ comments: You are personally liable for the content of any comments you upload to this website, so please act responsibly.
