The name Eddie Howe has very much become a familiar one within the Celtic support over the last few months.

Now though, we have finally moved on and have the man who will be leading us forward into the 2021/22 campaign with Ange Postecoglou.

Howe remains without a role at this stage, and at one point, it looked as though he would have to go a little longer into the Premier League season with no job.

However, last night the former Bournemouth man may have been thrown a lifeline after ex Borussia Dortmund boss, Lucian Favre turned down the Crystal Palace job at the last minute.

Lucien Favre has informed #CPFC that, despite agreeing a three-year contract that was due to be signed this morning, he does not yet feel ready to return to top level management after all

The Swiss has insisted he does not have another job offer lined uphttps://t.co/Qs4hGlAOc3

Despite that role becoming available again, it still seems like a very uninspiring move for Howe, who could have rejuvenated his career and build it up after leaving the Cherries.

Only time will tell if that is a mistake that he has made, but ultimately everyone appears to have moved on now, and our focus switches to the rebuild we face this summer.
