The former Portsmouth manager believes Jansen is close to securing a dramatic return to the club he led to a famous title victory in 1998 in his only season in charge.
According to Adams, Celtic approached the Dutchman, who then put forward his name as the other half of a continental-style management team.
Adams said: “My good friend Wim Jansen is probably in at Celtic. It would be him as technical director and me as manager.”
The former Arsenal skipper added: “I’ve not applied for the role. I know Wim Jansen, who has put me in there.
“I think they approached him, and I know Wim from my Feyenoord days, and he’s actually said that he would only do the role if I were to be made manager. That’s Wim’s opinion, not Celtic’s.”
