The real reason Brendan Rodgers had portrait of himself hanging up at home when managing Liverpool

It didn't take long for Brendan Rodgers to land his next job in football management after being sacked by Leicester City in April.

Reappointed as Celtic's head coach on Monday morning, the 50-year-old will be looking to repeat the success he enjoyed during his initial spell in charge of the Scottish Premiership side between 2016 and 2019. Rodgers delivered seven major trophies for the Hoops and boasted a win percentage just shy of 70 per cent.

This stint at Celtic arrived on the back of his dismissal from Liverpool the previous year, which saw Fenway Sports Group relieve the Norther Irishman of his role just two months into the 2015/16 season. He was, however, responsible for the Reds' unlikely title challenge of 2013/14 season, which marked the emergence of a deadly strike partnership between Daniel Sturridge and Luis Suarez.
