BRENDAN RODGERS has spoken to Oxford University Union about his life and career as a player and then a manager. The Irishman left Celtic in February 2019 following two and a half seasons in Glasgow for Premier League side Leicester City.
Despite arriving claiming to be a Celtic supporter, Rodgers left out the backdoor at Celtic Park and head down to the Midlands. Now, over a year on, Rodgers has defended his decision to do so claiming that it was a professional decision and not a personal one.
Rodgers detailed the successes that he enjoyed at Celtic and that he is delighted to see Neil Lennon and the players continue the winning mentality even after Rodgers left. The 47-year-old said that he was in regular contact with Lennon and a number of the players even after he left and watched the games when he could.

Rodgers’ legacy at Celtic was certainly impacted by the way in which he left the club; although what he achieved on the park was sensational and allowed the club to dominate Scottish football over the last few years.
Rodgers’ first season will be fondly remembered as Celtic completed an Invincible treble culminating in Tom Rogic’s injury time winner at Hampden over Aberdeen. Matt Corr has written about that season in his new book ‘Invincible’.
