(Reuters) - Celtic have appointed Brendan Rodgers as manager on a three-year contract, the Scottish Premiership side said on Monday.
Rodgers, who was sacked by Leicester City last season, previously managed Celtic from 2016-2019, winning consecutive trebles - Scottish Premiership, Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup.
"We have enjoyed some great times at Celtic before and this will be my goal again, to deliver good football, ensure we have a team we all love to watch and ultimately bring more success to our fans."After finishing fifth in the Premier League on two occasions, Leicester struggled badly last season and parted ways with the Northern Irishman in April. They were eventually relegated to the second tier Championship.
John Kennedy, a former Celtic player and coach, will support Rodgers as the club's assistant manager, along with first-team coaches Stevie Woods, Gavin Strachan and Harry Kewell.
