I've just landed my dream job' - Celtic boss Rodgers plays down England rumours

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has dismissed rumours linking him with the England vacancy by claiming that he has only recently just landed his dream job.

Rodgers, who is currently priced at 25/1 to replace Roy Hodgson, says that there is no way he will be walking out on the club he has supported all his life.

The former Swansea City and Liverpool boss said: "It shows you what the world of football is now, the gossip and speculation that goes on.

"I've just landed my dream job. The team I've supported all my life. I haven't even walked out for my first game.

"Imagine me as a Celtic supporter having walked out on the job at Parkhead.

"Yeah, I see Jose Mourinho has also been linked with it. He's unbeaten too … I' ll be at Celtic, that's for sure.

"Is it flattering? It's football — it's football.

"There are very few professions where one minute you're up, then down, then up again — that's just how it goes.

"If people think I can do jobs at a high level, then that's fine. But I'm busy here, worrying about what I have to do here."
