Brendan Rodgers recently left Celtic for Leicester City.

Sir Kenny Dalglish has given his take on Brendan Rodgers’s decision to leave Celtic for Leicester City in The Sunday Post.

Rodgers decided to step down as the manager of Celtic last week and took the managerial role at Leicester City in the Premier League.

The former Liverpool manager was appointed in the role at the Hoops in the summer of 2016, and he was a massive success at Celtic Park.

The 46-year-old won the domestic treble with Celtic in each of his two full seasons, and this campaign, he had already guided the Bhoys to the Scottish League Cup.

Celtic are eight points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership table at the moment and are still in the Scottish Cup.

Celtic legend Dalglish has given his take on Rodgers’s decision to leave the Glasgow giants for Leicester.

Former Chelsea and Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has also shared his thoughts on Rodgers’s decision to leave the Hoops for the Foxes.

Dalglish wrote in The Sunday Post: “Overall, Brendan was first class for Celtic, and has left them in an excellent position, still well on course for eight-in-a-row and another Scottish Cup.

“Yes, the fans are upset. But Brendan may well take that as a compliment that they are hurting at losing someone of his quality.”

The Scottish Sun quotes Mourinho as saying about Rodgers: “If I was in his position I would say to Leicester, ‘I want to come to you, but not now. I want to come next season, I want to be champion in Scotland, I want to leave in the right moment’. In my opinion, the right moment would be pre-season.”
