Neil Lennon is embroiled in controversy after reports emerged alleging unprofessional behavior from him and his coaching staff during a recent training session. According to a Romanian media outlet, Lennon and his team were seen visiting a brewery before showing up to training in a compromised state, with accusations even suggesting Lennon urinated on the pitch.
FC Rapid, the club Lennon currently manages, has vehemently denied these allegations, issuing a statement condemning the media attacks and defending Lennon’s professionalism. The club declared their support for Lennon and brushed off the rumors as baseless and malicious attempts to undermine him.
Despite the club’s backing, Lennon faces mounting pressure not only from these accusations but also from the team’s recent lackluster performances, which have seen them languishing in 12th place in the league after two draws and a defeat. The Celtic legend, who took over the job this summer after a year out of the game, is looking to prove himself once again in management and lead Rapid to success.
With doubts and criticisms swirling around him, Neil Lennon will need to turn things around quickly on the pitch to silence his critics and solidify his position at FC Rapid.
