Breaking News: Celtic make unexpected Brendan Rodgers contract decision

Following this weekend’s humiliation at the hands of Dundee FC, it appears that many Celtic fans are warming up to the prospect of Brendan Rodgers leaving Parkhead in the future. Of course, one hopes he does not leave in the middle of the season. But as the campaign comes to a close and his contract expires, there is a suggestion that it could be best for both sides to split ways.

Rodgers has never seemed to be able to replicate the magic of his first term in his second season. Yes, there have been four trophies in two seasons, as well as a run through the Champions League first round. Having said that, there has always been a sense of something missing.

Celtic never looked convincing. Football has been dull for a long time, and the results have now ceased flowing in. This has left them five points behind Hearts in the title chase.

Rodgers also sparked controversy with his ‘Honda Civic’ comments following the defeat to Dundee FC. In the aftermath, most people believed it was only a matter of time before he left or was shown the exit door. That’s why many people will be surprised by the latest news about his future.

Celtic’s surprising Brendan Rodgers contract decision

According to Football Insider, Celtic are still eager to reach an agreement with Rodgers on a new contract. Despite recent results, the board is still in talks with the manager over an agreement.

To be honest, this is unexpected. Much of Rodgers’ recent criticism has been directed at the board as well.

So one would expect they’d be delighted to part ways when his contract expired. However, if the claim is correct, it appears that they intend to extend Rodgers’ stay at Parkhead.
