Martin O'Neill breaks silence on returning as Celtic manager
Manager delighted to be given return for next season
Martin O’Neill says he is delighted to return as Celtic manager and thanked the club’s board for keeping faith with him.
The Northern Irishman has agreed a one-year deal with the option of another after guiding the club to a Premiership and Scottish Cup double last season.
It emerged last week that Celtic had agreed terms with O’Neill, although his back-room team have yet to be appointed.
O’Neill said: “It is once again a great privilege for me to continue as Celtic manager. Last season will live long in all our memories and to be part of that success has in a big way whetted the appetite to work again for more days like those and bring our supporters those moments.
“Of course, none of this could have been achieved without the players and staff and I want to take this opportunity to thank them for bringing that level of focus, determination and talent to bear at the conclusion of the season to deliver the league and Cup double.
“I would particularly like to thank the Board for asking me back and giving me this opportunity again.
“We know of course that Celtic can never rest on past success so we are now aiming to drive forward together in the coming season as we aim to deliver again for the club and our fans.
“I thank our fans for their ongoing support, it means everything to us. I look forward to being back at Celtic Park next season when we will come together and we will strive again to bring our fans the success which that support deserves.”
