Jesse March continues to be linked by the bookies for the vacant Celtic job - and given his previous comments when he was linked before Ange Postecoglou's appointment, it appears he wouldn't turn the chance down.
Marsch was RB Salzburg gaffer at the time, managing talents such as Erling Haaland, Takumi Minamino and Dominik Szoboszlai in his time in Austria as they went on a Champions League crusade. But, with Neil Lennon sacked by Celtic after failing to complete 10-In-A-Row during a dismal season, Marsch was one of the frontrunners for the vacant Parkhead role.
A move never materialised. Ange Postecoglou being appointed after a failed pursuit of Eddie Howe and the rest is history. But with the big Aussie having left for Spurs earlier this week to end a dominant two-year spell and Marsch on the managerial scrapheap after being sacked by Leeds, there could be a return given his previous comments.
The American gaffer said to BBC Sport back in March 2021: "I've heard. It's an honour for me.
"Three or four years ago, being linked with a club like Celtic would literally be an impossibility for me. And now that this is where I am, I always just try to look at it in terms of, 'what would the project look like?'
"Would we have similar ideas in how to build it the right way, invest in the academy, invest in young players and create this development process that I'm talking about? And not just focus on winning.
"Obviously I know that when you're the coach of Celtic, winning is the most important thing. I know enough about it to say of course it's interesting. It's an amazing club and it would be an honour to even be considered. But I also have a job to do here.
"My way of working is really to focus in on the job that I'm doing and concentrate on the moment. And the more that I do that the more other possibilities can arise."
Brendan Rodgers is the frontrunner at the moment alongside Enzo Maresca. But with Marsch being available on a free and mitigating factors around Rodgers' return, it could well spell a move to Celtic Park.
