A lot has happened at Celtic since Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic exit in October.
It was a brutal ending, with Dermot Desmond personally seeing off Rodgers by putting out a statement that verbally battered Celtic’s title-winning coach.
But as Wilfried Nancy struggles at Celtic after a nightmare first week, it seems as though Rodgers is now heading to the Middle East for his next job.
The Northern Irishman has been linked to various managerial roles, including in the Premier League, but Rodgers is now heading to the Saudi Pro League.
What do you make of Brendan Rodgers’ new job after leaving Celtic?
Brendan Rodgers ‘close’ to becoming Al Qadsiah coach in Saudi Pro League
David Ornstein dropped the news on social media on Monday morning that Rodgers is ‘close’ to becoming Al Qadsiah coach in Saudi Arabia.
The Athletic journalist added that the recently departed Celtic coach is ‘travelling over as work continues to finalise deal.’
It has been added that Rodgers’ ‘record of winning trophies in two spells at Celtic’ played a part in him getting the Al Qadsiah gig, who seemingly have big ambitions going forward, including moving into a ‘new stadium next season.’
Al Qadsiah, who are owned by Aramco, the majority state-owned national oil company of Saudi Arabia, are fifth in the Saudi Pro League table, ten points behind leaders Al-Nassr, after sacking Michel Gonzalez over the weekend.
