Rodgers shunned riches in China for Celtic stay

Brendan Rodgers claims to have snubbed “a few offers” during his time at Celtic, with lucrative advances from China having been shunned over the summer.

The Northern Irishman has been at the Parkhead helm since 2016, with a return to management made in Scotland after previous spells in the Premier League with Swansea and Liverpool.

He has enjoyed considerable success during his time in Glasgow, with his reputation having been rebuilt to the point that he has been linked with several high-profile posts in England and around the world.

Rodgers has knocked back all of those advances, with his commitment to Celtic seeing him turn down the chance to take advantage of the riches on offer in Asia.
