The Celtic boss is 25/1 to succeed Carlo Ancelotti at Bayern Munich.

Sky Bet are offering odds of 25/1 on Celtic’s Brendan Rodgers becoming the next permanent Bayern Munich boss.

The Bundesliga champions wielded the axe on Carlo Ancelotti after Wednesday night’s 3-0 defeat at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain – suggesting 5-0 at Celtic Park wasn’t so bad after all.

And although they have swiftly appointed club legend Willy Sagnol as interim manager until the end of the season, the market remains open on who could take the reins permanently next summer.

Hoffenheim’s Julian Nagelsmann (2/5) is the heavy early favourite, with Sagnol (9/4) and Thomas Tuchel (9/1) his closest challengers according to the bookmaker – aligning with some media reports.

But with much of the season still to decide, Bayern would be wise to keep an open mind regarding their next appointment.

And considering they play Celtic twice next month, you certainly wouldn’t bet against Rodgers catching the eye.

If he does, well he won’t be 25/1 for long.

Can Celtic cause an upset against Bayern?
