Neil Lennon has revealed he is in no rush to return to the dugout - but expects to get the "itch" to become a manager again.

The former Celtic and Hibs boss insists he's currently comfortable continuing with TV punditry roles and doing consultancy work.

But Lennon admits he does miss everyday work as a manager and the "buzz" of a match day.

While Lennon will return to the dugout one day, he admitted no jobs are currently appealing to him following his exit from Omonia Nicosia.

He told Football Betting: "I’m alright at the moment. There’s nothing really tickling my fancy. 

"I’m looking forward to getting back home and looking again because you sort of start getting the itch after a while.

"I’ve had plenty to do with TV and consultancy work so you're never really out of the game.

"You just miss the day-to-day stuff and obviously the buzz of matches."

Lennon left Cypriot club Omonia in October after seven months in charge. He had run Manchester United close with the club in the Europa League but "competitive instability" and league form led to his dismissal. 

On his sacking, an Omonia Nicosia statement read: "We inform you that we have agreed with Mr Neil Lennon to stop our collaboration.

"Mr Lennon took over the technical leadership of our team last March, at a difficult time and managed to lead us to winning the cup and then to the historic qualification against KAA GENT and our entry into the UEFA Europa League groups, where we came close to historic results against Real Sociedad and Manchester United.

"Unfortunately, the ongoing competitive instability and the significant losses of points in the championship, are the main reasons that made us decide to end our partnership.

"Mr Lennon has written his name in the history of Omonia and deserves the respect and recognition of all of us. Our paths separate, but the memories of our collaboration will unite us forever.

"We sincerely thank Mr Lennon for his contribution and wish him every success in his future career."
