Celtic Football Club has parted ways with head coach Brendan Rodgers, following a series of internal challenges and mounting pressure from both fans and players. The decision comes after a turbulent period marked by disappointing performances, controversial comments, and escalating tensions within the club.Brendan Rodgers returned to Celtic Park in 2023, succeeding Ange Postecoglou on a long-term contract. During his initial tenure from 2016 to 2019, Rodgers led the team to unprecedented success, including multiple domestic trebles. His return was met with optimism, as fans hoped for a resurgence of the club’s former glory.However, the 2025–26 season has been fraught with challenges. Celtic’s early exit from the UEFA Champions League, following a penalty shootout defeat to Kairat Almaty, was a significant blow to the club’s ambitions. Manager Rodgers publicly criticized the board for failing to secure necessary reinforcements during the transfer window, stating, “It’s the manager who gets sacked—not the board.” With Rodgers’ departure, Celtic FC now faces the challenge of finding a suitable successor who can restore stability and success to the club. The board has indicated that they will conduct a thorough search for a new manager, prioritizing candidates with a strong track record and a clear vision for the team’s future.
