    Bolton Wanderers hope to parade their new manager on Monday, after Neil Lennon was named as Dougie Freedman’s successor.

    Freedman was sacked at the start of this month after almost two years in the role, with the team rooted to the foot of the Championship. Tony Mowbray, Steve Clarke and Chris Hughton were among those linked with the Lancashire club but it is Lennon has been handed the post six months after leaving Celtic.

    “The club are delighted and excited to appoint Neil Lennon. He brings with him experience at the highest level and an infectious enthusiasm to take the club forward,” read a club statement.

    Lennon will be joined at the club by assistant manager Johan Mjallby and the first team coach Garry Parker.

    Lennon was approached by the Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad within the past fortnight but opted against a move to the Middle East. He was also believed to be in the frame to replace Felix Magath at Fulham but it was Bolton who moved quicker to secure the Northern Irishman.

    As the manager of Celtic, Lennon won three Scottish titles in a row and two Scottish Cups. His reign will perhaps be best remembered for the run to the last 16 of the Champions League in 2012-13, which included a memorable win over Barcelona in Glasgow. Bolton have won only five points from 11 league games, having won just a single match. Their next one is away to fellow strugglers Birmingham City on Saturday.

    Good luck Lenny :celt_2:

    Id say thats a good appointment for both NL and Bolton.He has nothing to lose with the position they are in, and should he turn them around, it will bolster his cv.

    I wonder who his signing targets will be???

    I'm thinking Hooper might be on his way to Bolton in January then.

    Also, good luck Neil!

    Good luck Lenny. Hopefully he can turn thing around and get them up the table.

    Let's hope he doesn't get any suspect packages in the post from Wigan fans eh! After all, he'll no doubt bring it on himself.

    Fulham and Bolton, eh? Obviously a well sought after bloke.

    I take it the Bolton board have matched his ambition.



    Of managing in League 1.

    Bolton are probably the smallest, shittiest, most irrelevant club I have ever heard of, but I still hope he does well with them.

    Think he might need it at Bolton.
    Sad day when he would rather manage them than us.

    From what I've seen of Bolton, he has a * hard job on his hands there. There's no Scott Brown to drag him through games when they're struggling.

    Good luck to him though.

    * *, he`s landed with a wallop there. Perhaps indicates that his managerial profile in the UK is not quite what he thought it was...
