Leicester City have confirmed the appointment of Brendan Rodgers as their new manager on a deal until June 2022.
The Foxes sacked Claude Puel on Sunday following a 4-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace, with Rodgers and Newcastle United boss Rafael Benitez soon touted as potential replacements.
Celtic announced on Tuesday that they had “very reluctantly” given Rodgers permission to travel to Leicester for talks and he has now sealed a return to the Premier League.
The 46-year-old previously managed Swansea City and Liverpool in the competition, almost winning the title with the Reds in 2013-14.
Rodgers then claimed seven major trophies during his time at Celtic, leaving the Glasgow club on the brink of a third consecutive domestic treble.
