Celtic have announced Ronny Deila as manager from Norwegian club Stromsgodset who he took to their first league title in 42 years.
Welcome to Glasgow Celtic Ronny, Hail Hail.
Im Cautiously Optimistic on this one. Hadnt heard of him prior to his link with the managers post and subsequent appointment.
Bit out of left field this one, but Im quite glad we didnt jump on the old manager merry go round of the tried and tested (failed) names that have been supposedly in the running.
He fits the bill regarding where the club is at the moment i.e. used to working on limited budgets (especially compared to England and most of Europe) so a strong need to develop our own (something we used to be very good at) and use the moneyball principle to find hidden gems out there, that operate in our price range and coach them on to bigger and better things.
He has an attacking football philosophy too, which our fans crave.
Hopefully he is given the time by the fans to get his ideas in place.(Some of our support feel we should have appointed a more established name, and will be waiting with the old I told you so...)
Interesting times ahead
