He returned to Celtic as manager in 2019, continuing his remarkable record by securing two more Scottish Premiership titles (2019, 2020), a Scottish Cup (2019), and a Scottish League Cup (2020), including leading the club to two domestic trebles. After leaving Celtic again in 2021, Lennon took on the head coach role at Omonia in 2022, where he won the Cypriot Cup in the same year. He briefly managed Rapid Bucure?ti in 2024 before being appointed manager of Dunfermline Athletic in March 2025, subsequently extending his commitment with a two-year deal in May 2025.
