stage. Despite respectable showings against Manchester United and Real Sociedad in the group stage, Lennon was sacked on 18 October 2022 due to disappointing results in the domestic league, including losses to newly-promoted sides Akritas Chlorakas and Nea Salamis. Personal life Lennon has spoken about having suffered from depression since 2000. In January 2011, Lennon reached an out of court settlement with the Bank of Ireland after a company of which he was a director defaulted on a €3.7 million loan. While a young player at Crewe, Lennon was a friend of Andy Woodward and Steve Walters, both of whom were victims of sexual abuse by coach Barry Bennell. After Bennell's 2018 conviction, Lennon spoke of his regret at not being aware of the abuse at the time. He is a supporter of his home-town team Lurgan Celtic.
