Celtic have announced Brendan Rodgers as their new manager on a 12-month rolling contract.
Rodgers, 43, has been out of work since he was sacked by Liverpool in October but will now replace Ronny Delia, who was relieved of his services after leading the club to their fifth straight league title.
“I am absolutely delighted to be named Celtic manager,” Rodgers told the club’s website. “This is genuinely a huge honour for me. I have followed Celtic all my life and to be given this fantastic opportunity and to be part of such a truly great football club is a dream come true.
“I will give my new role everything I have and do all I can to bring our supporters exciting, entertaining and winning football.
“The club has been in magnificent shape in recent years and has collected silverware regularly during this time. My objective now, of course is to continue this work, to keep us at the top and again make our mark in Europe.”
Since the start of August 2014 Rodgers win ratio in league matches is a respectable 45.7%.
