Burnley, the English club that recently dismissed its coach, is reportedly close to appointing Fabio Celestini as its new manager. Celestini, a former coach for Basel and CSKA Moscow, was the last team he managed. While Kenny Miller of Maccabi Tel Aviv had been mentioned as a candidate, reports indicate Burnley is now prioritizing Celestini.
According to The Athletic, Celestini was also of interest to Spanish club Getafe, but the project in England was more appealing. The 50-year-old Swiss coach managed 40 games for CSKA Moscow, achieving 21 wins, 16 losses, and 6 draws. He won the Russian Super Cup with the club last season. Prior to that, at Basel during the 2024/25 season, he secured a domestic double of league championship and cup.
