If Paulo Fonseca rumours are true, he's not a bad option for Celtic May 5, 2021 Don’t get us wrong: we’re on Eddie Howe’s Celtic Helicopter, but as back-ups go, Paulo Fonseca is more than capable. Duncan Castles of the Transfer Window Podcast has suggested that Fonseca was “offered” to Spurs and Celtic. Currently at Roma, who will be taken over by Jose Mourinho this summer, it’s been a tough season for the Portuguese coach. But as we all know, one bad season doesn’t make a bad career. Fonseca, who took Shakhtar Donetsk to the knockout stage of the Champions League, has had a mixed managerial record. He didn’t make it work at Porto, but in the Ukraine and Roma, he achieved a measure of success. With Donetsk, Fonseca’s ultra-attacking, fluid football was a must-watch, and successful, too. In each season, he won a league and cup double, utilising talents like Fred, Bernard and Taison to maximum effect.
