Rodgers could stay until the summer as Lennon eyes interim Leicester role

Neil Lennon’s desire to return to management could see Brendan Rodgers stay at Celtic until the summer.

According to reports from Sky Sports, as cited on the Belfast Telegraph, Lennon is interested in taking the Leicester City job, but only until the end of the season.

Rodgers has been heavily linked with the job and has been named by many bookmakers as the favourite for the position.

With a bid to try and hire Rodgers midseason less than straightforward, the report claims that the Premier League side could bring in an interim boss for the remainder of the campaign, with a view to hiring the Celtic manager in the summer.

This would also give Rodgers a chance to finish the season with Celtic, with the club chasing a historic Treble Treble.

Lennon has been out of a job since leaving Hibernian and spent four years at Leicester as a player, where he remains a popular figure.
