The Celtic Football club is a Scottish association football club based in Glasgow. The club was founded in 1887 and played their first match in May 1888. Celtic have won the Scottish League Championship on 46 occasions, the Scottish Cup 36 times and the Scottish League Cup 15 times. The club enjoyed their greatest successes during the 1960s and '70s under Jock Stein when they won nine consecutive league titles and the European Cup. This chronological list comprises all those who have held the position of manager of the first team of Celtic since its foundation in 1887. Each manager's entry includes the dates of tenure and the club's overall competitive record in terms of matches won, drawn and lost, and of major honours won. Caretaker managers are also included. As of the end of 2014–15 season, Celtic have had 17 full-time managers. Willie Maley, the club's first manager, is the longest to have served in the post, having managed the club from 1897 to 1940. The 30 major honours Maley won during his tenure are the most a manager has achieved at Celtic. Jock Stein is considered the club's greatest manager, having revived the team after many years in the doldrums. Stein managed Celtic to nine consecutive league titles and led them to their European Cup Final triumph over Inter Milan in 1967. ==Managerial history== For the first few years following its formation, the administrative and team selection duties at Celtic were performed by a committee. Willie Maley had played for the team since their inaugural match in May 1888, and on his retirement at the age of 29 was appointed secretary-manager in April 1897, effectively becoming the team's first ever manager.〔 His role was quite different to the modern style of manager or head coach; he never worked with his players in training and only watched games from the director's box. He did not perform team talks or speak with the players at half time or immediately post-match. Having been a club that initially relied on buying in experienced players, Maley instead concentrated on developing young talent. This proved a success as Celtic won six consecutive league titles in the first decade of the 20th century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://scottishfootballhalloffame.co.uk/willie-maley-1868-1958/ )〕 In 1907 the team also became the first Scottish side win a league and cup double. The next decade saw Maley lead Celtic to a further four successive league titles between 1914 and 1917, during which time they went on an unbeaten run for 62 games from 13 November 1915 until 21 April 1917.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rsssf.com/miscellaneous/unb-celtic-62.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/news/newsid=1745954.html )〕 This remains a British record for an unbeaten run in professional football. Towards the end of his reign, Maley led Celtic to further League titles in 1936 and 1938 and the Scottish Cup in 1937.〔 He remained in his post for almost 43 years, the longest serving manager in the club's history, and guided the team to 30 major trophies.〔〔 Jimmy McStay, who made over 400 appearances for Celtic as a player and captained the side, was appointed manager in 1940. However, his tenure would be during the war years, a period when Scottish football suffered huge disruption. He also had to contend with increased boardroom interference, which he never managed to quell. The result was stagnation with little tangible success.〔 In the summer of 1945, McStay reluctantly resigned at the behest of the Board and was succeeded by another celebrated former player, Jimmy McGrory.〔 The early years of his reign were very poor, and in 1948 the club only narrowly avoided relegation. Matters improved in the early 50s with the Coronation Cup win in 1953 and a league and cup double in 1954.〔 He also led Celtic to their famous 7–1 Scottish League Cup Final win over Rangers in 1957, still a record score-line in a major British cup final.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Football Dictionary )〕 His time as manager, however, is considered largely a period of underachievement, and with Chairman Robert Kelly's domineering influence in the running of the club, many questioned how much say McGrory had in team selection.〔〔 Jock Stein left Hibernian to became manager of Celtic in 1965, with McGrory taking on the role of the club's Public Relations Officer. As a player he had previously captained Celtic to their league and cup double success in 1954, and then as manager led Dunfermline to a famous cup final win over Celtic in 1961. On succeeding from McGrory, Stein took full control of all team matters. Stein is considered a football visionary; transforming a side lacking direction and having gone almost eight years without a trophy into the best team in Europe, all whilst playing entertaining adventurous football.〔 In contrast to his predecessors, Stein was actively involved in his players training - a "tracksuit manager". And whereas training had previously consisted of mainly running around the track, Stein introduced practicing with ball into training.〔 A Scottish Cup Final win was achieved within weeks of taking up the reigns as manager, followed in 1966 by the first of nine consecutive league championship wins. In his second full season as manager, Stein led Celtic to success in every competition they took part in (a "quintuple"), most memorably their 2–1 win in Lisbon over Inter Milan in the 1967 European Cup Final.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/sportscotland/asportingnation/article/0045/ )〕 Stein led Celtic to a further European Cup final in 1970, knocking out Benfica and Leeds United en route, but lost to Feyenoord 2–1 after extra time in the final.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.europeancuphistory.com/euro70.html )〕 Stein was seriously injured in a car accident in July 1975 and spent the next year recuperating, with assistant manager Sean Fallon taking over managerial duties for the season. On his return in season 1976–77, Stein led Celtic to a league and cup double; these would be the last honours he would win at Celtic.〔 After winning 25 major trophies,〔 Stein finally relinquished his role in 1978.〔 In 1978 former player and captain of the European Cup winning team, Billy McNeill took over as manager, having spent the previous season managing Aberdeen. He brought the league title back to Parkhead in his first season, clinching the championship in their final match of the season with a 4–2 win over Rangers. A Cup Final win in 1980 was followed by back-to-back titles in 1981 and 1982. A public row however with the board over a contract and funds for new players resulted in McNeill leaving the club in 1983.〔 At only 35 years old, Davie Hay succeeded McNeill.〔 A frustrating first season saw Celtic finish runners-up in each of the domestic competitions.〔 Success did eventually arrive though, winning the centenary Scottish Cup in 1985 and then a famous last day championship win at Love Street in 1986, defeating St Mirren 5–0 whilst title rivals Hearts lost at Dundee, securing the league on goal difference. Hay was unable to cope with high spending Rangers the following year, and on failing to win any trophies was sacked by the club. Billy McNeill dramatically returned to the club in the summer of 1987〔 and went on to lead the club to a league and cup double in its centenary season of 1987–88. A further Cup Final win followed in 1989, but the club went into a dramatic decline after that. After two seasons without any honours, McNeill was sacked in 1991.〔 Former Republic of Ireland international, Liam Brady, became the first Celtic manager who had never previously played for the club.〔 He failed to win any trophies in his first two seasons or reach any cup finals, and with no progress apparent into this third season he resigned in October 1993.〔 Frank Connor took interim charge for several matches, before Lou Macari was appointed manager.〔 Despite defeating Rangers 2–1 at Ibrox in his first match, results otherwise failed to improve.〔 Fergus McCann took over as owner of Celtic in March 1994 and duly sacked Macari three months later.〔 Following Macari's sacking, Tommy Burns was appointed manager in the summer of 1994. Celtic won their first trophy in six years at the end of the season, beating Airdrie 1–0 in the Scottish Cup final.〔 However, this was an era of domestic dominance by Rangers and despite an outstanding second season in 1995–96 where only one league match was lost, Burns could still finish only second in the league behind the Ibrox club.〔 Despite expensive players arriving at Parkhead, Celtic remained unable to overhaul Rangers the following season in 1997.〔 After losing to Falkirk in the semi-final of the Scottish Cup, Burns was sacked with his assistant Billy Stark taking charge for the few remaining games of the season. In the summer of 1997, former European Cup winner and Dutch international, Wim Jansen, became Head Coach.〔 Despite losing his first two games of the season, Jansen quickly turned things round and won the club's first Scottish League Cup in 15 years when they beat Dundee United 3–0 in the final.〔 A tightly fought league campaign saw Celtic clinch the title on the final day of the season, stopping Rangers' bid for 10 league titles in a row.〔 However it had by then become known that Jansen was disgruntled with Celtic Managing Director, Jock Brown, and he quit in the immediate aftermath of Celtic's title win. Veteran Slovakian coach Jozef Vengloš arrived at Celtic for the following season. A poor start to the season put Vengloš under pressure, but the arrival of new signings and a 5–1 win over Rangers in the league gave rise to optimism. However the league deficit was too much to claw back and a Scottish Cup final defeat to Rangers sealed a largely disappointing season.〔 The summer of 1999 saw the arrival of Kenny Dalglish as Director of Football and John Barnes as Head Coach.〔 A bright start soon faded as Celtic began to drop vital points in the league.〔 A shock Cup defeat at home to Inverness Caledonian Thistle saw Barnes sacked and Dalglish taking over as caretaker manager for the rest of the season.〔 Celtic did win the League Cup,〔 but slumped in the league and finished 21 points behind winner's Rangers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Scottish Premier League 1999–2000 Table )〕 Martin O'Neill, a former European Cup winner with Nottingham Forest, took charge of the club in June 2000. Under his leadership, Celtic won three SPL championships out of five and in his first season in charge, the club also won the domestic treble, making O'Neill only the second Celtic manager to do so after Jock Stein. In 2003, O'Neill led Celtic to their first European final since 1970, pitted against F.C. Porto in the UEFA Cup Final in Seville.〔 Celtic lost 3–2 after extra time, despite two goals from Henrik Larsson during normal time. The conduct of the thousands of travelling Celtic supporters received widespread praise from the people of Seville and the fans were awarded Fair Play Awards from both FIFA and UEFA "for their extraordinarily loyal and sporting behaviour". O'Neill left Celtic in May 2005 to care for his ill wife. Gordon Strachan was announced as O'Neill's replacement in June 2005 and after winning the SPL title in his first year in charge, he went on to become only the third Celtic manager to win three titles in a row. He also guided Celtic to their first UEFA Champions League knockout stage in 2006–07 and repeated the feat in 2007–08 before departing the club in May 2009, after failing to win the SPL title. Tony Mowbray took charge of the club in June 2009, and he was succeeded a year later by Neil Lennon.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lennon the way forward for Celtic )〕 Celtic narrowly lost out to Rangers in the league in Lennon's first season in charge, but he did gain consolation by defeating Motherwell 3–0 in the 2010 Scottish Cup Final. Lennon went on to win three league titles in a row, then announced his departure from the club in May 2014 after four years in the role. Norwegian Ronny Deila was appointed manager of Celtic on 6 June 2014. He signed a 12-month rolling contract with the club, becoming their seventeenth manager.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Celtic F.C. managers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
