FORMER Celtic manager Neil Lennon could be poised to make a surprise return to management with Anderlecht.

The Northern Irishman is one of several men the Belgian club are looking at as a potential replacement for current coach Besnik Hasi, who will be officially sacked today.

Lennon is on a list of candidates Anderlecht are considering, according to media reports yesterday in Belgium. Also in the frame are former Denmark coach, Morten Olsen, and one-time England manager, Steve McClaren.

The trio are all out of work and would be able to start with the Brussels club immediately, with the Anderlecht board keen to make a quick appointment after losing the Belgian title two weeks ago to rivals, Club Brugge.

It was that setback, the second in two seasons following Gent’s shock success in 2014-15, which prompted Anderlecht to fire Hasi after just over two years in the post.

While Olsen would be favourite with the fans, because of his special status as a player in the Anderlecht side which won the Uefa Cup in 1982, he is now 66 years old and has said he would not take another football job without getting permission from his wife after 16 years in the Denmark role.

Olsen actually lives just outside Brussels because of his Belgian wife and commuted to Copenhagen for his Danish FA work. McClaren won a Dutch title with FC Twente but the man sacked by Newcastle United in March is not seen as a genuine contender in Brussels.

At 44-years-old, Lennon is the youngest candidate but crucially for Anderlecht is the fact that he has Champions League experience with Celtic. In fact, Anderlecht will also have to pre-qualify. Going in at the third qualifying round, with Brugge taking the only group stage passport.

Two days ago, Lennon revealed he had been close to rejoining Celtic but lost out Brendan Rodgers, but also saw a future abroad after the torrid time at debt-ridden Bolton Wanderers.

“Moving abroad is definitely something that would interest me, because I’ve enjoyed the European experience (at Celtic),” he said. “No question, if an opportunity arose that I really liked the look of then I’d seriously consider it.”

McDermott should grow a goatee, take some steroids, put in contact lenses, put on a Dutch accent and return for pre season training and no one will bat an eyelid

Rotherham are going to approach two clubs for their manager - Hibs for Stubbs and Coventry for Mowbray. Also interviewed four (including Steve McClaren) who are out-of-work.

Apparently Stubbs interviewed for their job last October.

That'll be why he signed the new deal yesterday or the day before then.

Honestly thought that Lennon story read Aldershot, rather than Anderlecht :lol:

Quite a high profile job he's been linked with, surprised to be honest but would be delighted for him if he went over there and did well.

I wasn't being snarky. :suspect:

If he was in for the Derby job and kings offered to double his wage, might explain why he's so keen to stay now.

Always likely that a Championship club would move for Pearson, given his pedigree in that league.

Warburton needn't despair too much, though. There are still vacancies at Villa, Forest and Leeds he could go for..

Agreed. I think it's surprising that a bigger club hasn't snapped him up.
