Paul Tisdale’s “knowledge, talent and tremendous work ethic will be crucial” at Celtic, says manager Brendan Rodgers.
The former Exeter City boss has become the Glasgow club’s head of football operations.
Rodgers says he has “been well aware” of the work of the 51-year-old, who assisted Celtic during the summer transfer window.
“I have known Paul for some time,” Rodgers added. “I know that he will be a huge asset to Celtic… as we drive forward across a number of areas, always with the aim of delivering higher performance and more and more success.”
Meanwhile, chief executive Michael Nicholson says Tisdale, who managed for 12 years at Exeter, “will bring a new dimension to our work”.
“Talent identification and talent development, from our academy through to our first team, is of fundamental importance to the club’s strategy,” Nicholson said.
“Paul has tremendous expertise in these areas. We are certain he will bring great experience, energy and innovation to what we do.”
