Celtic won the ‘double’ in Scotland last season under the command of Greek-Australian Angelos “Ange” Postecoglou. Tottenham’s call was stronger, he continues his career in the ranks of the Spurs, and the green and whites also received compensation of 5,800,000 euros.The Glaswegian giant has been eyeing Aussie’s successor in recent days, with the choice falling on Brendan Rodgers, who had a dismal season at Leicester that saw them relegated from the Premier League. Island media have confirmed that the former manager of Liverpool has agreed a three-year cooperation with Celtic and that this week he could be presented as the new-old manager of the Scottish champions.##NAJAVA_MECA_7324828##In his first tenure at Celtic Park, Rogers won seven trophies, but during the 2018/2019 season, to the displeasure of the fans, he left the club and moved to King Power Stadium in Leicester on the bench of the former champions of England. His greatest success in Leicester is winning the FA Cup in 2021, which is the only trophy in his previous club.He had good seasons with the Foxes, qualified for European competitions, but last year they were awful, so he was replaced in April when Leicester were sliding towards the Championship. It is estimated that Rogers will be the highest-paid manager in the history of Celtic, but it is stated how much he will receive in the second term.Brendan Rodgers has agreed terms to become new Celtic head coach, deal in place — set to be finalised, here we go soon. 🚨🟢 #CelticFCHuge move for Celtic to replace Ange Postecoglou as negotiations started days ago and now finally set to be completed. pic.twitter.com/v8UKKtCIih— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) June 18, 2023 The former coach of Liverpool was also a candidate for the bench of Leeds United, a team relegated from the Premier League after two seasons in the best company.The seasoned expert was born in Northern Ireland 50 years ago. He had a modest playing career. As a manager, he led Chelsea’s reserve team, then Watford, Reading, Swansea, and the Welsh team was his springboard to Anfield, where he was at the helm of the famous Liverpool for three years. Rodgers spent three in Celtic, less than four in Leicester, and now he is off to a new start in a well-known environment.
