Mark Guidi thinks there is one candidate who is unlikely to join Celtic

Mark Guidi on Potential Celtic Manager Candidates

Many names have been linked to the Celtic managerial position since Brendan Rodgers resigned. Among the most talked-about candidates is Kjetil Knutsen, who is reportedly interested in the job. Ipswich Town's Kieran McKenna is also considered a contender, along with other names like Craig Bellamy and Robbie Keane.

Unlikely Candidate: Nicky Hayen

One surprising name in the discussions is Nicky Hayen, the manager of Club Brugge, a Belgian Pro League team known for its exciting style of play. Hayen has been discreet about his interest in the Celtic role.

Mark Guidi's Perspective

“I think Nicky Hayen is probably their thoughts at Brugge. But I’m kind of thinking with him, he’s got such a really good CV and then you look at the result the other night, he might be, with the greatest respect, better than Scottish football now. I think he’s looking at England or La Liga or something for his next job. I think he’s gone beyond that.”

Guidi suggests that Hayen is more likely to pursue managerial roles in top leagues like the English Premier League or La Liga rather than moving to Celtic in Glasgow.

Summary

While Celtic has several candidates interested, Mark Guidi considers Nicky Hayen unlikely to join, expecting the Belgian manager to aim for a Premier League or La Liga position instead.

Author's summary: Mark Guidi believes Nicky Hayen is unlikely to manage Celtic, expecting him to target higher-profile leagues beyond Scottish football.
