Scottish champions Celtic are hoping to unveil former Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers as their new manager as early as next week. Although no formal agreement has taken place, but reports suggest Celtic will make an official announcement by next Monday or Tuesday.
Rodgers will be given a £15m budget for transfers and wages to rebuild the squad. He has been given a lucrative contract which would make him the highest-paid manager in the club’s history.
Celtic’s major shareholder Dermot Desmond had held lengthy discussions with David Moyes, Malky Mackay, Roy Keane and Neil Lennon before taking the final decision.
