Neil Lennon has been out of football for over 100 days and while we wait on his successor being announced, the Irishman is now taking further steps into a new role within the media.
We have seen the Irishman pop up on Sky Sports as a pundit and on several different radio outlets since leaving the club. Now the treble winning boss will be part of The Times this summer, giving them an exclusive interview and a regular column on this summer’s Euro’s.

The Former Hoops boss has made no secret he wants to get back into management, but until then, keeping himself in the media and using this time wisely could set himself up for his next role.
Neil was dismissed at the end of February after a disastrous season that culminated in him forcing an ill-advised trip to Dubai.
The manager lost the dressing room very early on in the last campaign and couldn’t survive the results in the end. He did get a fair crack at the whip – many managers would have been sacked way before Neil was forced to walk.
