Celtic Reunite O'Neill with Backroom Team

Celtic secured their fifth consecutive Scottish Premiership title under the leadership of Martin O'Neill and his coaching staff.

The club has confirmed that Shaun Maloney, Mark Fotheringham, and Stephen McManus will continue to serve alongside manager Martin O'Neill for the next season.

O'Neill's permanent return was officially announced on 11 June, with the 75-year-old signing a one-year contract that includes an option for an additional year.

During O'Neill's two interim periods last season, Maloney and McManus advanced from other roles within the club to support him, while Fotheringham, formerly the manager of Huddersfield Town, joined the coaching team.

Coach Gavin Strachan recently left the club to take up a position at West Bromwich Albion.

O'Neill, who initially managed Celtic from 2000 to 2005, took over following the departures of Brendan Rodgers and Wilfried Nancy, guiding the team to a league and Scottish Cup double.

"Everybody at the club played their part in our achievements last season and we now look ahead as again we strive together to bring our supporters more success," said O'Neill in a brief statement.
