Inter Milan Ready To Finalise Permanent Move For Man City Star After Impressive Debut Season
Inter Milan is set to finalize the permanent transfer of Manuel Akanji from Man City after a strong debut season.
Aiden McGeady endorses Robbie Keane as the top candidate for the Celtic managerial position, suggesting he would excel alongside Martin O'Neill. Keane's successful tenure at Ferencvaros has heightened his candidacy amid ongoing speculation about the role.

With speculation continuing over the managerial position, Keane has emerged as a prominent contender after impressing during his time with Ferencvaros, where he secured the league title last season and guided the club to the knockout stages of the Europa League.
Despite holding a 2-0 lead over Braga in the last 16 of the Europa League, they were comfortably beaten 4-0 in Portugal and exited the competition.
Reports have indicated he is among the frontrunners for the role, while several pundits have also voiced their approval of his credentials.

McGeady has pointed to Keane’s consistent success, insisting that he has claimed trophies in each of his managerial spells to date, including stints in Hungary and with Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Speaking via Go Radio Football Show, McGeady said: “He’s been the name that’s been the strongest and the loudest. If it’s going to be Martin O’Neill or that kind of advisor or someone to help. I think that’s quite important, especially the way that Celtic have been this season. I think there’s obviously been a big disconnect between the fans, and the board and the club.”
Robbie Keane is viewed as a strong candidate due to his successful stint at Ferencvaros, where he won the league title and reached the knockout stages of the Europa League.
Aiden McGeady suggests that Martin O'Neill would be an ideal supporting figure if Robbie Keane is appointed as the manager at Celtic.
Under Robbie Keane, Ferencvaros exited the Europa League after losing 4-0 to Braga, despite initially holding a 2-0 lead in the tie.

“Robbie Keane seems to be the loudest bit. Regardless of the Irish connection, if you actually look at his record, he’s won a trophy every season he’s been a manager. He’s managed in two different countries.”
“I think Ferencvaros got to the last 16 of the Europa League as well. He’s been very, very successful in a short space of time. If you’re looking at candidates based on what they’ve done so far in their CV, I think he is an outstanding candidate. He always dreamed of playing for Celtic. He said that about 20 years ago.”
