Super Eagles and Celtic defender Efe Ambrose will play under
a new manager next season. The Scottish
champions announced Friday the signing of former Liverpool boss Bredan Rodgers
as their new manager on a 12 month rolling contract.
Rodgers, 43, replaces Ronny Deila who stepped down at the
end of a two-year spell which brought in two league titles and a League Cup
crown but just frustration in Europe.
"Celtic Football Club is delighted today to announce
Brendan Rodgers as the new Celtic manager. Brendan has agreed a 12-month
rolling contract with the club," said a Celtic statement.
Rodgers was previously in charge at Swansea, Reading and
Watford while he spent three years at Liverpool before being sacked in October.
"I am absolutely delighted to be named Celtic
manager," said Rodgers.
"This is genuinely a huge honour for me. I have
followed Celtic all my life and to be given this fantastic opportunity and to
be part of such a truly great football club is a dream come true."
Rodgers will be the third manager Ambrose will be working
with since joining the side from Israeli side Ashod in 2012. He joined while
Neil Lennon who left in 2014 was in charge.
