Brendan Rodgers is poised to be unveiled as Celtic’s new manager on Monday as he returns to the Glasgow club.
Talks have been ongoing with the Carnlough man over a sensational return to Parkhead, four years after leaving for Leicester City. Majority shareholder Dermot Desmond has taken control of the recruitment process since CEO Michael Nicholson and finance chief Chris McKay jetted out to Mallorca a week ago to hold preliminary talks with Rodgers, reports The Daily Record.
Desmond flew into Glasgow for face-to-face discussions with the former Liverpool manager and since then, bot parties have been locked in negotiations. The timing is key for the Hoops, with a strong reaction expected from a section of fans who were furious at the way Rodgers’ upped and left during the 10-In-A-Row attempt, which ultimately failed under successor Neil Lennon. Now he is aiming to get that element of the support back onside, who have just lost an incredibly popular head coach in Ange Postecoglou, who departed for Tottenham after securing the Treble.
