Rodgers pens new deal with Celtic

AFP, GLASGOW: Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers signed a four-year contract extension with the Scottish Premiership champions on Friday.
Rodgers led Celtic to the title in his first season in charge of the Glasgow giants and, just days after that triumph was wrapped up, the former Liverpool boss has been rewarded with a new deal.
The 44-year-old, whose club are unbeaten in the league this season, agreed to replace his one-year rolling contract with a new deal that runs until June 2021.
“It just felt right. I couldn’t be happier. I’m in the best place I could possibly be,” Rodgers told a press conference on Friday.
“I’m eternally thankful to the board for showing trust in me last summer and now I’m very grateful for the commitment of the board.
“A few years ago I might have been in a rush. But I have learnt to cherish what you have.
“It’s the beginning of the journey, but there’s a lot more to achieve.”
Rodgers is on course to follow in the footsteps of Jock Stein and Martin O’Neill by leading Celtic to the domestic treble.
With the Premiership and League Cup secured, Celtic, who have won the league for the last six years, have a Scottish Cup semi-final against Rangers coming later this month.
