Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers must win over the doubters.
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has decided to quit the club to take over as Leicester City manager, BBC Sport report.
Rodgers was confirmed as manager earlier this evening by Leicester.
Rodgers’ decision has shocked many, and that will include former Rangers captain David Weir, who said that he did not feel the job is big enough to interest the Northern Irishman.
Weir spelled out his reservations, telling BBC Sport: “I think the Celtic job’s a bigger job than the Leicester job at this present time.
“For Brendan Rodgers to be at Celtic, which is an unbelievable football club playing in Europe year in, year out, winning trophies, there’s a massive attraction associated with that as well.”
Rodgers’ task will be to begin to start to turn opinions like Weir’s around.
After their shock 2015/16 Premier League title win, Leicester have become a mid-table side.
Currently they are in 12th place, and there will be no European football on offer next season.
Rodgers’ challenge is to turn Leicester back into challengers for European places, and even win a cup competition.
He has become accustomed to silverware at Celtic. Now he needs to try and bring that winning mentality to Leicester.
His challenge is to start turning opinions around, and show that Leicester is a more attractive job than Celtic.
