The Celtic boss admits he may lack the energy to continue as manager beyond this weekend's showpiece final.
Martin O'Neill has dropped the strongest hint yet that his time at Celtic Park could be coming to an end, revealing he doubts whether he has "the energy" to carry on as manager beyond Saturday's Scottish Cup final.
The experienced tactician made it clear that any discussions about his future at the Scottish giants will be put on hold until after the weekend's showpiece event, leaving fans and the Celtic hierarchy in suspense about what comes next.
O'Neill's potential departure would mark the end of an era for a club that has consistently provided opportunities for players across the African diaspora to shine on European stages. Celtic's progressive approach to scouting talent from across the continent has made them a beacon for young African footballers looking to break into elite European competition.
The timing of any managerial change could prove crucial for Celtic's recruitment strategy, particularly as African football continues its meteoric rise on the global stage. With the continent producing world-class talent at an unprecedented rate, the next Celtic manager will inherit a club perfectly positioned to capitalize on this golden generation of African stars making their mark across Europe's top leagues.
