Celtic assistant manager Johan Mjallby is all set to leave the Scottish club once the current season comes to an end.

The Swedish coach assumed the assistant role alongside Neil Lennon in March 2010, and has served for four years with his former team-mate. He previously played for the Hoops for six years from 1998, but has now announced his departure to look for new challenges.




The Glaswegian club will now begin process of looking for a replacement for the 43-year-old, who helped the club to their third consecutive Scottish Premiership title this year.

“I have enormous affection for Celtic football club and it is with sadness that the time to leave has arrived. However, I now leave to seek some different opportunities”, Mjallby told the club’s site.

“The club has been part of my life for almost two decades and I have been dedicated to them in every way, first of all as a player and then in management.

“It was an honour to return to the club and work in management with Neil, Garry and the players, and we have worked hard over the last few years to once again bring the club success.

“I hope Neil, the staff and the players can deliver many more trophies and titles for our fans in the future. I would like to sincerely thank all our supporters for all they have given me and everything they have given to the club. They are special fans, the best I have ever seen in football”, he added.

Former defender Mjallby won 49 international caps, and also played for Levante and Swedish club AIK.
