Former Celtic manager Neil Lennon has told Sky Sports News HQ he would be open to a return following the news that Ronny Deila will leave the club at the end of the season.Norwegian Deila, who succeeded Lennon in June 2014, has decided to leave after his position came under increased scrutiny following Sundays Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to Rangers on penalties.Lennon is among the bookmakers favourites to replace Deila after enjoying plenty of success during his first spell in charge which began on a caretaker basis in March 2010. Deila to leave Celtic Celtic have confirmed that manager Ronny Deila will leave the club at the end of the season The 44-year-old, who left Bolton by mutual consent last month, led Celtic to three league titles, two Scottish Cups and the last 16 of the Champions League with a win ratio of 70 per cent.When asked if he would like to return, Lennon said: Thats the 54-million dollar question. Ive never hid my affinity for the club so would I like to go back if the opportunity arose and I had the opportunity to speak to the board? Then absolutely.Lennon had some sympathy for Deila, but accepts being manager of Celtic will always have its ups and downs. Lennon is currently out of work after leaving Bolton Its been a rollercoaster for him, said Lennon. Im sure he will have enjoyed the fantastic experience of managing one of the greatest clubs around and Im sure the club will wish him well, but I always imagined they would let Ronny see the season through because Celtic dont make knee-jerk reactions.Hes had fantastic highs and a few lows along the way, but thats the nature of being Celtic manager. Celtic manager Ronny Deila will step down at the end of the season Theres not many better jobs around. Maybe in another part of the clubs history he might have had a better chance of fulfilling his ambitions or expectations, but in terms of sympathy I have sympathy for him in the fact he is losing a fantastic job, but not for him going in there and taking the job on.Lennon was speaking at the John Hartson Foundation Golf Day at Mar Hall Golf and Spa Resort in Bishopton near Glasgow, an event being held to raise funds for testicular cancer.Hartson played alongside Lennon at Celtic and he believes his former team-mate is the right man for the job once again.He said: Neil is a very close friend of mine, he was sat next to me for five years in the Celtic dressing room as a player and he was my captain, so of course Im going to say I would love to see Neil back at Celtic. Former Celtic player John Hartson isnt surprised that Ronny Deila will leave the club this summer But theres plenty of other candidates, theres managers out there that would love the job. Its a great job, its a fantastic job, [but] youve got to be able to deal with the demands.You need to win predominately and you need to win trophies. There will be a big challenge next season with Rangers back in the top flight and there may be Hibs. Youve got Hearts, youve got Aberdeen who have been stronger this season. John Hartson celebrates with Lennon scoring for Celtic against Motherwell in 2005 But Neil has been there before, hes somebody that thrives on pressure. He had a difficult period when he was there in terms of his personal life, but hes obviously prepared to deal with that.Hes a strong man, strong personality, so he is one of many, Im sure, the Celtic board will consider.
