Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers (SNS Group / Alan Harvey)
Celtic have confirmed that Brendan Rodgers is in discussions with Leicester City about their vacant managerial role.
Reports this morning suggested that Rodgers was set to leave the Hoops to make his return to the Premier League, with assistant Chris Davies and coach Kolo Toure also reportedly joining him.
A Celtic statement said: “Celtic Football Club today confirmed that it has been approached by Leicester City FC to speak to Brendan Rodgers with regards to their current managerial vacancy.
“Brendan has indicated to the Club that this is an opportunity he wishes to investigate further and therefore, very reluctantly, the Club has granted him permission to speak to Leicester City.”
Neil Lennon is hotly tipped to take over on an interim basis should Rodgers leave.
