A Glorious First Spell at Celtic
During his first tenure at Celtic, which commenced in 2016, Brendan Rodgers steered the club to unparalleled success.
The team solidified its position as Scotland’s dominant force, delivering an unbeaten 2016/17 season and an entire calendar year without a single home defeat.
Under Rodgers’ guidance, Celtic clinched the Scottish Premiership, the Scottish League Cup, and the Scottish Cup twice, earning the prestigious “double-treble.”
Rodgers’ Success Beyond Celtic
Rodgers almost led Liverpool to the Premier League championship in the spring of 2014 after taking over in June 2012. The Reds came up just short, but at the time it appeared that they had a promising future under Rodgers’ leadership.
Although Brendan Rodgers faced a disappointing end to his tenure at Leicester City, his achievements at the club cannot be overlooked.
Prior to his departure, Rodgers led the Foxes to glory in the FA Cup and the Community Shield, solidifying their position as a top Premier League outfit.
While the team experienced a slump after Rodgers’ exit, resulting in relegation, it is crucial to recognize his immense contributions to Leicester City’s rise to prominence.
