Ferencvaros manager Robbie Keane has dropped a hint about where his future may lie following links to Celtic.
Keane’s side were beaten 4-0 by Braga to bring their Europa League run to an end with a 4-2 defeat.
Celtic have been linked with Ireland’s record goalscorer once again and Dermot Desmond’s connection to Keane makes him a frontrunner for the job and it seems like the 45-year-old has hinted that he may be open to a new challenge elsewhere.
The links are back again… Would you welcome Robbie Keane as Celtic manager?

Robbie Keane says he has ‘completed his job’ at Ferencvaros
Following the Hungarian side’s defeat in Portugal on Wednesday night, Keane was asked to reflect on his side’s performance.

“My players are not at this top level yet, but they have improved a lot this season, and for me as a coach, this is my most important task: to make my players better,” Keane said.

Robbie Keane’s European record as a manager
Ferencvaros are still battling for the Hungarian top flight and are one point behind the league leaders as it stands.
On the European stage, this season is the Irishman’s best run after reaching the last 16 of the Europa League; however, this came after falling short in the Champions League qualifiers.
I want the next manager of Celtic to be…
In his previous role at Maccabi Tel-Aviv, Keane reached the last 16 of the Conference League.
If he is to become the Celtic manager, he will need to do that on the biggest stage of all in the Champions League.
