John Kennedy 'considering Celtic future' after Ange Postecoglou arrival as assistant boss aims for managerial role

Celtic assistant manager John Kennedy is reported to be considering his future at the club, as he harbours ambitions of taking the top job elsewhere.

The former centre-back has risen through the coaching ranks after his career was cruelly cut short by injury, and stepped into the breach after Neil Lennon 's departure in February.

Kennedy took charge of 10 games and will oversee the start of pre-season while new manager Ange Postecoglou completes his quarantine period after flying in from Japan.

But according to the Daily Mail the 37-year-old is considering his long-term future at Celtic.

The club are happy for him to stay on as assistant manager and Postecoglou is in no rush to bring his own staff over to Scotland with him.

However, Kennedy has ambitions of becoming a manager in his own right and could look to move on and seek a top job elsewhere.

A firm fixture at Parkhead, the former Scotland international has worked under Ronny Deila, Brendan Rodgers and Neil Lennon as he learned his trade.

Kennedy could well stay on for another season to work alongside Postecoglou but is open to options elsewhere.
