The former exeter and Stevenage boss is working as a consultant and has previously advised Crystal Palace and Fulham
Paul Tisdale is reportedly being targeted by Celtic as the man to revamp their football operations, according to a report.
The 51-year-old, who branded himself a "football doctor", has been working as a self-employed consultant since leaving Stevenage Town in 2022. Now the Daily Mail claim that he is in contention for a senior role with the Premiership champions. There's a void to fill after the departures of head of recruitment Mark Lawwell - son of chairman and former CEO Peter - as chief scout Joe Dudgeon last March.
Tisdale, once dubbed "the most stylish man in football" due to his touchline attire while in charge of Exeter, sporting a variety of blazers, scarves and trilby hats, has previously acted as an advisor to both Fulham and Crystal Palace. He gave Aston Villa and England striker Ollie Watkins his first team chance at St James' Park. However, he missed Watkins' Euro 2024 semi-final winner for his country, instead watching Celtic take on Queen's Park in a friendly.
"I work as what I call a football doctor,’ he recently told a scouting podcast. "I go into football clubs and I try to find performance-improvement solutions using data and also my experience as a coach. "I can translate very well from the boardroom to the pitch, and from the pitch to the boardroom, and also deliver CPD or coach mentoring. I’m currently into a period where I am doing a bit of a lot of things, waiting for one thing really to take off. keeping me busy and I am self employed with my own business and really enjoying it."
