Harry Kewell's Celtic exit is edging closer as per claims coming out of Australia. The Parkhead coach joined the Premiership champions during Ange Postecoglou's reign, and has stuck around for the Brendan Rodgers era 2.0.
But Far-East reports have suggested Yokohama F. Marinos want him to replace fellow Aussie Kevin Muscat as manager after the former Rangers defender's exit, and Rodgers has confirmed there is an interest in Kewell's services.
It has been suggested by A-League producer Sacha Pisani that a deal to take Kewell from the Celtic backroom to leading man in the J League is "done", with an assistant already picked.
John Hutchinson - a fellow Australian who has been assistant manager at city rivals Yokohama FC, will return to Marinos as assistant.
