Following Claude Puel’s dissmissal, Leicester City have confirmed the appointment of Brendan Rodgers as their new manager on a deal until June 2022.
The Foxes sacked Claude Puel on Sunday after an embarrasing 4-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace, with Rodgers and Newcastle United boss Rafael Benitez soon touted as potential replacements.
Celtic allowed Rogers travel on Tuesday for talks and he has successfully sealed his dream move back to the premeir league. The 46-year-old previously managed Swansea City and Liverpool in the competition, almost winning the title with the Reds in 2013-14.
Rodgers then went on to claim seven major trophies during his time at Celtic, leaving the Glasgow club on the brink of a third consecutive domestic treble.
Leicester City vice-chairman, Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, claims he’s delighted to bring a manager of Brendan’s calibre to the club.
