Ronny Deila to broaden his horizons after Celtic exit
The Norwegian is preparing to return to his homeland after two years in Scotland.
Ronny Deila will use his spare time following his Celtic exit to study Europe's top clubs as he looks to rethink his football philosophies.
The Norwegian is preparing to return to his homeland after two roller-coaster years in Scotland.
The 40-year-old will bow out following Sunday's final Premiership clash with Motherwell but, before he waves goodbye, he will get the chance to hoist aloft his second top-flight trophy as the Hoops celebrate five in a row.
However, Deila acknowledges he should have added more to the Parkhead trophy cabinet than two league triumphs and last year's League Cup success.
The former Stromsgodset boss found the pace of life in Scotland unrelenting but, now that he is heading for an extended break, he revealed he wants to put the time to good use.
He said: "First I'm going to have a vacation. Then if I haven't start working as a manager I will work in television. That is very easy.
"Maybe I will do some speeches for some companies and I will go around and have a look at other clubs. I have a lot of contacts now so I will go and watch and talk with the best ones.
"I will try to develop myself and try to get new ideas.
"It is hard to get new ideas here in Scotland and I think it is a problem for Scottish football.
"There are so many games and it just goes on all the time. You don't have time to go and watch what is going on around you. You don't have time to go outside of Scotland and see what is happening elsewhere.
"That is an important thing to do if you want to get new ideas on how to approach the game.''
As he turns his thoughts to his next challenge, though, Delia insists he will have no issue kick-starting his coaching career in less intense surroundings than Glasgow.
Asked if he would find it a struggle moving onto a smaller club, he replied: "No, because I'm not a trophy hunter. I like to win things of course but I love to work with people, to develop them.
"If I coach an under-14 team, a third division team, if I coach Celtic or Barcelona it all feels the same.
"Of course the challenge is much bigger here and the result pressure, the media and the supporters make it unbelievably tough but what is happening on the pitch is the same and that's why I do it, because I love teaching.''
