Former Ivory Coast head coach Emerse Fae is reportedly interested in the Hibernian job as speculation grows over Martin O'Neill's future with Celtic. Fae, 42, led Ivory Coast to the knockout stage at this summer's World Cup and has family ties to Scotland, according to the Scottish Sun.

Comfortable defeats by Rangers and Ferencvaros have created unease at Celtic over O'Neill's position, though Football Insider reports the 74-year-old is not facing the sack. O'Neill acknowledged that Celtic will eventually seek a replacement but insists he remains motivated this season.

Ruud Gullit stated that even an approach from Celtic couldn't convince Frank Rijkaard out of retirement, but the 64-year-old former Chelsea manager has signaled openness to his first coaching role since 2011, per The Herald.
