Neil Lennon: "I fear the sack"

Lennon: "I fear the sack"

Celtic manager Neil Lennon has said that he fears the sack more than anything else in his job, but wants to stay at the club for the long term.

Lennon has been Celtic boss for more than two years, but admits that he still does not "feel comfortable".

"I would like longevity in the job no matter where I am," BBC Sport quotes Lennon as saying.

"I don't think you can ever get comfortable in a manager's job unless you're Sir Alex Ferguson, who deserves to be in that way.

"The one thing I fear the most out of the job is the sack. I think that's the same for most managers."

Lennon also played for the club for seven years between 2000 and 2007.
