Rodgers confirms his desire to stay at Celtic

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has confirmed his desire to remain with the Scottish Champions, despite reported interest from Arsenal.

As per the Daily Record, Rodgers claims he is ‘living the dream’ in Scotland.

I’m loving my life up here. I’m not going to be here forever but I’m living in a dream. Dreams always come to an end at some point, that’s for sure. But I am always relaxed about speculation and what not. My focus is only on Celtic.

Reports had suggested that Rodgers was one of several coaches on the shortlist to replace Arsene Wenger this summer.

Rodgers was named alongside the likes of Thomas Tuchel, Carlo Ancelotti and Julian Nagelsmann as possible contenders to replace Wenger, who is under increasing amounts of pressure at Arsenal.

Despite the lure of a big Premier League move, Rodgers looks set to remain with the Hoops for another season at least.

The former Swansea and Liverpool boss has been applauded for his achievements since moving to Celtic, where he guided them to a domestic treble last season.

The Hoops also managed to go the entire last campaign unbeaten in the Scottish Premiership.
