Brendan Rodgers would reportedly have to be persuaded into making a major life-style U-turn to return to Celtic as manager.
The Daily Record reports that Rodgers has told friends and family he plans to take a year out of football’s front-line following his recent departure from Leicester City. And, after taking that prolonged sabbatical, Rodgers had been hoping to get back into management with a move abroad to one of Europe’s top leagues.
As recently as last week, Rodgers had no plans to make a quick return to the game unless he was offered a job that was ‘too good to turn down’. But the 50-year-old’s best laid plans may have changed dramatically on Monday when Ange Postecoglou put pen to paper on a contract with Spurs to become Antonio Conte’s successor. Rodgers was immediately installed by bookies as the red hot favourite to take over from the Australian in Glasgow’s east end - four years after walking out of the job to move to the King Power.
