Brendan rodgersBrendan Rodgers has sent a message to the Celtic board that he’d be happy to discuss the managerial position with the five times Scottish champions.

Rodgers was sacked by Liverpool in the first half of the season and is keen to get back into management.

The Irishman was given his first break in coaching by Tommy Burns and was keen to send out the right signals in an interview with Sky Sports earlier today.

Well, it’s an incredible club, a club that family and everyone support,” he admitted. “Obviously the league isn’t so competitive but Celtic are one of the great iconic clubs in the world, a huge club.

“I think Ronny has done a great job there, it looks like they will go on and win the title so that is two titles in a row.

“So I’ll be sad to see him go but there is an opportunity for somebody there to go to a great club.”

When asked directly if he could be the man, Rodgers said: “At this moment of time I’m just enjoying my time off and I’ll wait and see what offers come in and, at this moment, there is nothing concrete.

“I’m just really enjoying the rest. I have had no concrete offers but certainly in the summer I want to get back to work again. I’ve had a great break, enjoyed it and I’ll be refreshed and ready for the summer.”

Deila will officially leave Celtic in three weeks time with the new manager’s first match in charge coming in mid July in the second qualifying round for the Champions League.
