Rodgers will succeed Claude Puel should he take the job

At one stage Celtic went 69 domestic matches without suffering defeat, surpassing a 100-year-old British record to set a new record which will surely not be matched for some time.Celtic have struggled in Europe under the Northern Irishman, however, crashing out of the Champions League group stage in 2016/17 with a fourth place finish, before failing to make it past the Europa League’s round of 32 in both the previous and ongoing seasons.Rodgers leaves Celtic with the Hoops eight points clear at the top of the Premiership table, ahead of second place Rangers, as they seek to make it eight successive league titles in a row.7

Rodgers added a seventh trophy to his Celtic haul this season with a third straight League Cup victory

Rodgers walks into Leicester with the club currently sitting 12th in the Premier League – only eight points clear of the relegation places.Rodgers returns to the country in which he has spent the majority of his coaching career, beginning as an academy coach for Reading having been forced to retire aged 20 due to a knee injury.He joined Chelsea’s academy upon Jose Mourinho’s appointment in 2004, and eventually progressed to the position of reserve team manager before leaving to become Watford manager in November 2008.A year later he returned to Reading as boss but left after just six months with the club only one place above the Championship’s bottom three, but found another opportunity in the second tier with Swansea.7

Rodgers was widely lauded for the work he did at Swansea
