Former Celtic manager Neil Lennon has been announced as the new manager of Cypriot side AC Omonia Nicosia.

Lennon has signed a contract to be their head coach until the summer of 2024.

The 50-year-old replaces former Rangers defender Henning Berg at Omonia.

The Northern Irishman has been out of a job since departing Celtic 12 months ago, after failing to lead the club to a record breaking tenth successive title.

Lennon won 10 major trophies as Hoops boss across two spells and also had time managing Bolton Wanderers and Hibernian.

Omania sit 7th in the division, which has only just split in two, with the team topping the bottom half of the table.

They qualified for the Europa Conference League group stage this season but failed to progress to the knockout stages.

Lennon will be in charge of their next fixture, at home to Doxa on Saturday.
