 Adams won only two of 16 Premier League games with Portsmouth
|
Former Portsmouth boss Tony Adams says he is in the frame to become the new Celtic manager should the club appoint Wim Jansen as technical director.
According to Adams, Celtic approached Jansen, who recommended Adams, but the Glasgow club deny he is a candidate.
"When Celtic approached Wim he very kindly said that Tony Adams was the man they needed to go and get," said Adams.
"I'm very interested. I do love winning things, so it does appeal but as of yet, no phone calls."
Adams has been out of the game since being sacked by Portsmouth in February, having won just four of 22 games in charge.

Prior to that, the former Arsenal and England captain was number two to Harry Redknapp at Pompey, after an ill-fated spell in charge of Wycombe and coaching jobs in the Netherlands with Utrecht and Feyenoord.
It was in the latter role that he worked with Jansen, who was technical advisor to the club at the time, and Adams envisages the two working together in a European-style management structure at Celtic.
"I really appreciate and I'm really thankful that there are people in the game who are batting for me and putting me up for the jobs," said Adams.
"By saying manager, it is kind of a head coach's position really because once you have a technical director like you have in Europe, they help you with recruitment.
"As long as you have the final say of who comes in and out, these people are your help in the boardroom.
"I never had that at Portsmouth. It works for me and Celtic is an unbelievable club, you have a 50% chance of winning something up there."
Jansen was head coach of Celtic during the 1998/99 season, but despite leading them to the Scottish Premier League title - their first in 10 years - and winning the League Cup, he left at the end of the season due to a clash with general manager Jock Brown.

Celtic have been without a manager since Gordon Strachan resigned on 25 May, just one day after surrendering the league title to Rangers.
On Monday, the club had an official approach for Swansea boss Roberto Martinez rejected by the Swans.
Croatia coach Slaven Bilic has expressed his interest in the vacancy, while West Brom's Tony Mowbray and Burnley's Owen Coyle are also thought to be candidates but Everton boss David Moyes has ruled himself out of the running.
