Rodgers confirms he is committed to Celtic amid Leicester links

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has stressed that he is focused on his job amid speculation linking him to the Leicester City.

Reports this week had claimed that the Northern Ireland coach was being eyed up by the Foxes, with pressure mounting on current boss Claude Puel.

The Frenchman is the bookkeepers’ favourite to be the next manager sacked in the Premier League, and the club are said to be keen on bringing the former Swansea and Liverpool manager back to the Premier League.

However, Rodgers has moved to dismiss speculation, confirming that he is focused on his job at hand. As quoted by the Irish Independent, Rodgers said:

Someone mentioned it to me yesterday.

It is the time of the year where you get players and managers get linked with clubs and whatnot.

For me, my only concentration is here at Celtic.

Leicester as we have seen over the last few years, an incredible journey that they have been on as a club and obviously the unfortunate circumstances (owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha’s death in a helicopter crash) that they had earlier this season.
