Celtic is poised to appoint Paul Tisdale, a former manager with extensive experience, to a senior role aimed at overhauling the club's football operations. Tisdale, 51, who has worked as a self-employed consultant since 2022, is expected to oversee recruitment, data analysis, and coaching development following recent departures in the club's scouting and recruitment departments. Known for his innovative approach, he describes himself as a 'football doctor' and has previously given opportunities to notable players like Ollie Watkins during his tenure at Exeter City. Tisdale’s managerial career includes over 1,000 matches across several clubs, and he has also advised teams like Fulham and Crystal Palace. His appointment aligns with manager Brendan Rodgers' call for an overhaul in football operations at Celtic. The club, lacking a sporting director since 2021, aims to enhance its first-team structure with Tisdale's expertise.
