Brendan Rodgers return to Celtic NOT ruled out as two contenders 'drop out' of next manager race

Brendan Rodgers hasn’t ruled out returning to Celtic as their new boss.

The Northern Irishman is still a leading contender to replace Ange Postecoglou who left for Spurs last week. And while the club are weighing up several managerial targets, Parkhead majority shareholder Dermot Desmond is a huge admirer of Rodgers after his trophy-laden first spell as Hoops gaffer. The 50-year-old left Leicester in April and had planned to take a lengthy break before returning to a Premier League club or job abroad.

Despite distancing himself from reports of potentially replacing Postecoglou, Record Sport understands he won’t rule anything out. It comes after German boss Daniel Farke emerged as a shock contender. The 46-year-old has recently left Borussia Monchengladbach and previously spent four years in England with Norwich City, winning the Canaries promotion to the Premier League. He’s currently a free agent and Sky Germany claim he has already held initial talks about a move to Parkhead.
