Brendan Rodgers has hinted at his contentment at Celtic but remained coy when asked about his long-term future during a busy day that included the club’s AGM and a media session.
The manager, under contract until the summer of 2026, reaffirmed his commitment to seeing out the remainder of his deal.
Reflecting on his time at the club, Rodgers noted that by the time his current tenure concludes, he will have spent six years across his two spells at Celtic—a period he described as “a long time” for a manager at the club.
When pressed about his plans beyond that, Rodgers admitted he hadn’t given it much thought but expressed satisfaction with his current situation.
“I haven’t thought about my plans beyond the contract, but I’m happy here,” he said.
Rodgers’ positive comments have fuelled speculation that he could agree to an extension before the season ends.
However, any new deal would likely hinge on assurances regarding budgets and working conditions, as Rodgers is known to be particular about having the necessary backing to meet his ambitions.
Losing Rodgers would undoubtedly be a massive setback for the club. His influence extends beyond the pitch, and his vision has been instrumental in maintaining Celtic’s dominance domestically. Ensuring he stays could prove vital for the Hoops’ long-term success.
From majority shareholder Dermot Desmond to the club’s board, everyone at Celtic must surely realise the importance of securing Rodgers’ commitment for the future. It’s now up to them to meet his terms and ensure he remains at the helm for years to come.
