'They were distraught that I had left Celtic’: Brendan Rodgers claims members of his own FAMILY haven’t spoken to him since leaving Scottish giants for Leicester City last year

Brendan Rodgers has revealed members of his family have not spoken to him since he left Celtic for Leicester City.

Rodgers, 47, put pen to paper on a £5million-a-year deal, lasting until 2022 when he moved from Celtic in February but has since signed a new contract to keep him at the club until at least 2025.

Rodgers claims that his role as Celtic manager ‘meant so much’ to his family, that they were 'distraught' when he left the club and have even cut off contact with him since.
