Robbie Keane has reportedly stepped down as Ferencvaros head coach – fuelling rumours of a potential return to Celtic.
The Republic of Ireland idol has been heavily linked with a move to Parkhead as uncertainty surrounds the future of interim boss Martin O’Neill.
Keane has also been touted with taking over Slovakian champions Slovan Bratislava.
The ex-Tottenham and Liverpool striker led Ferencvaros to a 2024/25 league title win and also lifted this season’s Hungarian Cup.
He’s also earned plaudits for guiding the Hungarians into the last 16 of the Europa League, finishing 12th in the league phase.
But now breaking reports in Hungary say that the 45-year-old has resigned after a year-and-a-half at the helm – just days after Ferencvaros relinquished their title to ETO FC.
Speaking just last week about his future, Keane said: “I ignore the rumors, only my two children read them. I feel good here, it’s an excellent club, with excellent people, an excellent president. After a few weeks off, I’m coming back even more determined.”
