English club Burnley, which recently dismissed its coach, is reportedly close to appointing Fabio Celestini as its new manager. Celestini, who previously coached Basel and CSKA Moscow, was considered a leading candidate for the position.
Burnley had previously been linked with Kenny Miller of Maccabi Tel Aviv, but reports now indicate Celestini is the preferred choice. The 50-year-old Swiss coach has also attracted interest from Spanish club Getafe, but the project in England was more appealing.
Celestini's last coaching role was with CSKA Moscow, where he managed 40 games, achieving 21 wins, 16 losses, and 6 draws. He led the Russian club to a domestic Super Cup title last season. Prior to that, he secured a domestic double of league championship and cup with Basel in the 2024/25 season.
