    Celtic Football Club can confirm today that Assistant Manager John Kennedy, coaches Adam Sadler and Jack Lyons, and Head of Performance Glen Driscoll have left the Club with immediate effect.

    We thank each of them for their contribution to Celtic and we wish them all well for the future.

    We are pleased to welcome former Celtic Captain Stephen McManus and former Celtic player Mark Fotheringham into our first team coaching set-up, where they will join Martin O’Neill and Shaun Maloney on an interim basis, alongside coaches Stephen Woods, Gavin Strachan and Greg Wallace.

    Strachan, Woods and McManus are all still here.

    Edit - at least I thought McManus was.

    Some sort of explanation would be nice. Did they resign? Were they sacked?
    Desmond’s statement blamed Rodgers and nobody else so why have 4 other staff members left with immediate effect?

    I seriously hope so m8. They should all have gone who was with brendan Kennedy and all. We need new ideas .. new management ... new train of thought. Let the next manager bring his own and let's start rebuilding. Have had enough of the same

    Why would these coaches leave permanent positions for temporary jobs? Makes no sense. This is the next managers backroom staff, I'd be shocked if it wasn't.
