Jesse Marsch talks up Celtic manager 'honour' as he admits interest in Parkhead role

RB Salzburg boss Jesse Marsch is honoured to be linked with the Celtic job, and admits he finds the role "interesting".

The American has been touted as a potential replacement for Neil Lennon, having impressed with his work in Austria and MLS.

The likes of Roy Keane, Enzo Maresca and Chris Wilder are near the top of the betting for next Parkhead boss but Marsch admits he'd be interested in the role.

He told BBC Sport : "I've heard (about the links). It's an honour for me.

"Three or four years ago, being linked with a club like Celtic would literally be an impossibility for me. And now that this is where I am, I always just try to look at it in terms of, 'what would the project look like?'

"Would we have similar ideas in how to build it the right way, invest in the academy, invest in young players and create this development process that I'm talking about? And not just focus on winning.

"Obviously I know that when you're the coach of Celtic, winning is the most important thing.

"I know enough about it, to say of course it's interesting.

"It's an amazing club and it would be an honour to even be considered. But I also have a job to do here.

"My way of working is really to focus in on the job that I'm doing and concentrate on the moment. And the more that I do that the more other possibilities can arise."
