“Celtic Ready to Make Stunning Move with Paul Tisdale Appointment in Crucial Behind-the-Scenes Role – Massive Changes Coming!”
Stephen McGowan of *MailSport* reports that Celtic are looking to appoint Paul Tisdale to bolster their footballing operations. The 51-year-old, who has referred to himself as a ‘football doctor,’ is a self-employed consultant with a wealth of experience, and his potential appointment signals the club’s desire to strengthen its behind-the-scenes structure.
Paul Tisdale’s managerial career has seen him oversee more than 1,000 matches, with stints at Exeter City, MK Dons, Bristol Rovers, and Stevenage. He is perhaps best known for giving Aston Villa and England star Ollie Watkins his big break in football during his time at Exeter City, showcasing his eye for talent and player development.
Despite being the man who launched Ollie Watkins’ career, Paul Tisdale missed the striker’s biggest moment—his goal that sent England to the Euros final last summer. Instead, Tisdale was attending Celtic’s pre-season friendly with Queen’s Park, potentially laying the groundwork for his upcoming role with the Scottish giants.
The exact title of Paul Tisdale’s role at Celtic is yet to be confirmed, but he is expected to oversee key areas such as recruitment, data analysis, and coaching development. His appointment follows the departures of recruitment head Mark Lawell and lead scout Joe Dudgeon earlier this year, signaling a significant reshuffle behind the scenes at the club.
Manager Brendan Rodgers has emphasized the need for a major overhaul of Celtic’s footballing operations, and the appointment of Paul Tisdale could be the first step in that process. Rodgers’ push for modernization and restructuring behind the scenes aligns with Tisdale’s potential role in overseeing recruitment, data, and coaching development, setting the stage for a new era at the club.
