Scottish giants Celtic has announced the return of former Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers to the club.
The Irishman controversially left Parkhead in 2019 to take the reins with Leicester City, where he spent the next four years.
Rodgers will work with John Kennedy who the club retained as assistant manager, while Harry Kewell, Gavin Strachan, Stevie Woods, Stephen McManus and Darren O’Dea have also been retained to assist with first-team duties.
Welcome back, Brendan! 🍀#CelticFC is delighted to announce that Brendan Rodgers has been appointed the Club's new Football Manager on a three-year contract.

Let's get to work! 🙌
Previously, Rodgers enjoyed three success-laden years in Glasgow as he delivered two trebles prior to leaving for the King Power Stadium. Rodgers inherits a Celtic side that clinched its latest treble under Postecoglou prior to his move south of the border to Tottenham.
The 50-year-old’s return to the Hoops marks his seventh managerial role following spells with Liverpool, Swansea City, Watford, and Reading.
