Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is reportedly wanted by Leicester City.
According to The Scottish Sun, Leicester City have made Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers their top target to replace current manager Claude Puel.
The Foxes may have picked up major results against Chelsea, Manchester City and Everton over the festive period, but their defeats have been puzzling.
Home losses to Cardiff City and Southampton have piled the pressure on boss Puel, as did a shock FA Cup exit at the hands of fourth-tier Newport County.
Now, The Scottish Sun report that Saturday’s game against Wolves could be pivotal, as another defeat is likely to spell the end of Puel’s time in charge at the King Power Stadium.
Just weeks ago, The Telegraph reported that Leicester wanted Celtic’s Rodgers, but most likely at the end of the season, appointing an interim boss before going all-out for the Northern Irishman.
The rumour has now returned, with The Scottish Sun suggesting that Rodgers is the top target to replace Puel, as sources close to chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha suggested that a move for the Celtic man is on.
Rodgers, 45, has completely rebuilt his reputation since becoming Celtic boss in 2016, leading two treble-winning seasons whilst guiding the Bhoys back to the Champions League twice.
Celtic fans will now be worrying about Rodgers’ future with the Leicester rumour returning, but they will at least expect him to see out the season as Bhoys boss given the ensuing title battle with Rangers.
