Chris Davies, a dependable right-hand man for Brendan Rodgers, is expected to work with Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham Hotspur.
In turn, that might give Celtic a big advantage in their fight to maintain assistant manager John Kennedy.
Kennedy was invited to move to north London with Postecoglou on a four-year contract. The former Scotland defender has expressed a wish to quit, but is constrained by a contract that prevents the Australian from stealing away previous employees.
Kennedy has received a call from Rodgers expressing his desire to stay with the team, and discussions are still ongoing. The possibility would seem to increase if Davies were transferred to Spurs.
Welshman Davies, who served as Celtic's assistant manager from 2016 to February 2019, was rumored to be Swansea City's top candidate for the head coaching job.
The 38-year-old had shown interest in staying in English football before Steven Naismith was hired by Hearts.
Before announcing Rodgers' return as manager, Celtic want to fix Kennedy's problem.
As he prepares for a remarkable return to Parkhead, the Northern Irishman is putting the finishing touches on his new-look backroom staff and has invited Glen Driscoll and Jack Lyons from the first squad of Leicester City to join him.
Michael Nicholson, the chief executive, and Chris McKay, the chief financial officer, traveled to Mallorca last Saturday to meet the 50-year-old, who has also been courted by Dermot Desmond, a significant shareholder.
And once the board of directors decided to spend money on the players and infrastructure required to produce a successful return,
Enzo Maresca, a Manchester City assistant, has been connected to the Celtic vacant position and is now anticipated to succeed Rodgers at relegated Leicester City.
Daniel Farke, a former manager of Norwich City, also spoke with the organization but appears to be joining Leeds United.
After the board of directors decided to spend money on the players and infrastructure required to restore the club into a competitive force in Europe, an agreement to return was hammered out.
