CELTIC have finally announced the appointment of Brendan Rodgers as the club’s new manager.
Rodgers, who previously led the club to unprecedented success, including consecutive domestic Trebles and an iconic Invincible season, has signed a three-year contract at the Hoops, breaking the traditional rolling contract which is normally handed to managers.
Brendan has a lot of fans to win over, with many still bitter over his departure in 2019.
The manager reflected on the great times he and the team enjoyed at Celtic in the past, expressing his goal to replicate that success. He aims to deliver good football, create a team that fans love to watch, and ultimately bring more success to the fans.
Rodgers also acknowledged the brilliant work done by his predecessor, Ange Postecoglou, over the last two years. He pledged to do all he can to maintain Celtic’s momentum as they face domestic and European challenges.

“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.
