Brendan Rodgers Steps Down as Celtic Boss After Securing 13th Title

Brendan Rodgers has officially stepped down as Celtic manager, just days after leading the club to their 13th Scottish Premiership title. The Northern Irishman, who returned for a second spell in charge, leaves behind a remarkable legacy, having once again guided the Hoops to the summit of Scottish football.

Rodgers’ decision comes as a surprise to many, especially after a season marked by resilience and dominance. Under his leadership, Celtic not only clinched the league title but also showcased a brand of attacking football that rekindled memories of his first spell at Parkhead.

In a statement, Rodgers thanked the fans, players, and club staff for their unwavering support. “It has been an incredible honour to manage Celtic again,” he said. “The club will always hold a special place in my heart. I believe now is the right time for a new chapter — for both myself and Celtic.”

Speculation is already mounting over who will take the reins, with Celtic eager to continue their domestic dominance and push further in European competitions. Rodgers’ departure marks the end of an era, but his impact — two spells, multiple trophies, and a lasting cultural influence — will not be forgotten.
