The Leicester City manager brought Congerton to Celtic.
Brendan Rodgers has insisted he has not thought about bringing Celtic’s head of recruitment Lee Congerton to Leicester City.
Reports this week claimed the newly-appointed Leicester manager is looking to raid Celtic Park for the colleague with whom he first worked at Chelsea in 2005.
Rodgers has already taken Celtic coaches Chris Davies and Kolo Toure to the King Power Stadium.
But with Leicester already employing Eduardo Macia in a similar role to that of Congerton, a move for the Celtic man may not be quite as straightforward.
Asked about a reunion with the latter on Thursday, Rodgers said, as quoted by the Scottish Sun: “Nothing to add to that really.
“Of course there’s always speculation because I brought Lee into Celtic.
“Our relationship goes back a long way. He is very good at what he does.
“But Eduardo is in his position here. Lee is working at Celtic and there’s lots of speculation around lots of staff or players.
“It’s not something that I’ve thought about.”
Rodgers has already been linked with moves for Celtic players Kieran Tierney, Callum McGregor and James Forrest, along with Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos – although the Ulsterman has also played down that particular rumour.
Would the Celtic chief be a good addition for Leicester?
