Report: Damien Duff accepts Celtic coaching role

Former Chelsea and Republic of Ireland star Damien Duff has accepted the offer of a coaching role at Celtic, according to reports from Independent.

The report claims that Duff will fill the vacant coaching role with the Celtic reserve team.

Duff, who has spent the last two season as head coach of Shamrock Rovers’ U-15 side, was encouraged to apply for the vacancy by first-team manager Brendan Rodgers after Shaun Maloney left the post in September.

The pair know each other well from the time Rodgers worked at Chelsea, where Duff won his two Premier League titles.
