Italian football journalist Fabrizio Romano has provided an exciting update on Brendan Rodgers’ return to Celtic. The Irishman has agreed terms to become the club’s new manager, replacing Ange Postecoglou who departed for Spurs earlier this month.
Romano who has so often been the bearer of bad news for Celtic fans provided an update stating that a return is close.
Rodgers is believed to have signed a five-year deal with the former Liverpool and Leicester City manager returning to the club, that he left in February 2019. The return to the Scottish Champions is particularly exciting as it suggests that Rodgers has been given assurances regarding the club’s vision for European success.
Rodgers had a hugely successful two and a half years in Glasgow’s East End. The 50-year-old won seven out of seven trophies as well as qualifying for the Group Stages of the Champions League on two occasions. Although, the issue that Rodgers highlighted was the failure to progress beyond the Last 32 in the Europa League appeared to create division between Rodgers and then-CEO Peter Lawwell.
