    Another failure to add to his cv.

    4 sackings out of 5.

    Lawwell and Desmond no doubt still rate him highly though

    All I’ll say is his outburst at that press conference suggested to me he hasn’t learned from his past mistakes.

    Really when you see how Ange handles things vs. Lennon it just highlights how below par Lennon is.

    Whilst I prefer how Ange handles press conferences some of the best managers in the world, both past and present have had regular outrageous moments with the media. If it is in any capacity an indicator of a individual's ability to manage a football club I wouldnt say it necessarily one of the heavily weighted ones.

    - literally just typed in to youtube when football managers lose it. Klopp in my mind is a great manager for example. He certainly has regular episodes with the media

    Of course. As you say, plenty of managers with regular outbursts can manage their clubs very well.

    But we all know Lennon as a manager and it was clearly a problem for him that he should address. I don't think the outbursts stop with the media. We already know he doesn't bring the most professional approach and I don't think he brings too much else outside of raw energy and passion. He needs to control that better and be more professional.

    Football has changed so much even since he started managing. I think he would admit that himself.

    Does seem a bit harsh, although that’s without knowing anything about Cypriot football. Was a second away from a draw at old Trafford against pretty much a full strength side in the week. Bet he’s bitterly disappointed

    The worst part about this is that Adam Mathews, Brandon Barker and Gary Hooper are now all trapped in Cyprus

    Neil Lennon: Former Celtic manager sacked by Cypriot side Omonia Nicosia

    Last updated on18 October 202218 October 2022.

    Lennon's side lost 1-0 to an injury-time winner from Manchester United at Old Trafford last week

    Former Northern Ireland and Celtic midfielder Neil Lennon has been sacked by Cypriot side Omonia Nicosia after seven months in charge.

    The club announced the news soon after a 1-0 home defeat by Nea Salamis that leaves them seventh in the Division One table.

    Former Celtic boss Lennon led Omonia to Cypriot Cup success in May.

    Last week they came within seconds of earning a 0-0 draw against Manchester United in the Europa League.

    "We inform you that we have agreed with Neil Lennon to stop our collaboration," the club said in a statement on their website.

    "Unfortunately, the ongoing competitive instability and the significant losses of points in the championship are the main reasons that made us decide to end our partnership.

    "Mr Lennon has written his name in the history of Omonia and deserves the respect and recognition of all of us. Our paths separate, but the memories of our collaboration will unite us forever.

    "We sincerely thank Mr Lennon for his contribution and wish him every success in his future career."

    Lennon signed a deal to take him up to the end of the 2023-24 campaign when he was appointed by Omonia in March.

    He had been out of management since stepping down from his second managerial spell at Celtic Park just over a year before that.

    Lennon led Celtic to 10 major trophies across his two stints as manager, winning two league titles, two Scottish Cups and a League Cup having returned to the club in February 2019 following the departure of Brendan Rodgers.

    However he resigned two years later as Celtic's bid to win 10 consecutive league titles crumbled.

    In between his spells at Celtic Lennon spent 17 months as manager of Bolton Wanderers before guiding Hibernian to the Scottish Championship title in 2017.

    Couldn’t have happened to a nicer *.

    Honestly, the sight of him makes me * sick. He resents every one of you.

    This.

    Don't get the wild support for him from some. Not necessarily on here or anything - just in general. Especially when he effectively blamed us for 10-in-a-row being spurned.

    Don't know where he goes from here either in terms of his next role. His days as a number 1 is likely over now. Wouldn't surprise me if we see him take up a coaching role at a lesser club.

    See this. Get this * to *. Alcoholism is a disease and constantly using it to attack a guy (who admittedly made a complete * up of the 10 and treated fans with contempt) is beyond the pale.

    Yeah, guy lost a league title, let's attack his alleged drink problem.

    This place makes me * sick at times.
