'It might be time to wrap it up' - O'Neill ponders Celtic future after defeat
Martin O'Neill says he will use the international break to reflect on his position after Celtic suffer three consecutive defeats in big games.
Martin O'Neill, the 74-year-old Celtic manager, has contemplated whether it may be time to retire from his managerial role, following a series of disappointing performances. This comes after the club suffered a second defeat in a week against their arch-rivals, Rangers. O'Neill acknowledged the possibility of his age and the pressure it places on him, stating that he would be reflecting on the team's performance and his own capabilities in the upcoming week.
He admitted that while he still has energy and desire, the question of whether he can still provide the right leadership remains a concern. The manager's decision may be influenced by the quality and timing of recent summer signings, as well as the overall fitness and performance of the team.
