Official: Brendan Rodgers Returns To Celtic On A Three-Year Deal 

Former Leicester City manager, Brendan Rodgers has returned to Celtic, after making a switch to the King Power Stadium back in 2019.

Rodgers has been without a club ever since his dismissal from Leicester on April 2nd, ahead of the club’s expected relegation from the Premier League.

He now assumes the position as Celtic boss, replacing Ange Postecoglou who also made a switch to Tottenham Hotspur after winning consecutive domestic trebles for the club.

Rodgers said: “I am really delighted to return to Celtic and I am hugely excited by this great opportunity. When I was given the privilege of being asked to join the club again, it was a very simple decision for me and my family.

“We have enjoyed some great times at Celtic before and this will be my goal again, to deliver good football, ensure we have a team we all love to watch and ultimately bring more success to our fans.

“Ange has done some brilliant work across the last two years and I will be doing all I can to maintain Celtic’s momentum as we face into all our domestic and European challenges.

“We have a hugely impressive and talented group of players and staff at the club, and I am really looking forward to meeting up with them all and then getting straight down to work.

“I wanted John to be with me as we move forward. He is a very talented coach, someone I know well and respect and he will be very important to myself and our players.

“The club is in fantastic condition at all levels and I would like to thank the board for putting their trust in me to take the team forward. We will work very closely together as we strive to bring that success to our supporters.

“Let’s get to work!”

Before leaving for Leicester back in 2019, Rodgers won the treble in his first two seasons with Celtic — 2016-17 and 2017-18, and he also guided the team to the League Cup in his third season.

The 50-year-old also led Leicester to their maiden FA Cup title, while also guiding the club to a 5th-place finish in the English Premier League on two occasions.
