Celtic confirm Rodgers return: I want to continue the momentum

Celtic have announced Brendan Rodgers as new manager.

The former Leicester City boss returns to Celtic four years after his departure. He has signed a three-year contract.

"We have enjoyed some great times at Celtic before and this will be my goal again," said Rodgers.

"Ange [Postecoglou] has done some brilliant work across the last two years and I will be doing all I can to maintain Celtic's momentum as we face into all our domestic and European challenges."

Meanwhile, Celtic have confirmed Rodgers' coaching staff for next term.

It'll include assistant manager John Kennedy and first-team coach Gavin Strachan, who were both linked with a move to Tottenham with Ange Postecoglou.

Stevie Woods, Harry Kewell and B team coaches Stephen McManus and Darren O'Dea will also remain at the club.
