Odds on new Celtic manager as familiar face heads betting

Brendan Rodgers has emerged as favourite to return as Celtic manager following Ange Postecoglou's departure.

Postecoglou's exit was confirmed on Tuesday after the Australian was announced as Tottenham Hotspur's new boss on a four-year deal.

Rodgers managed Celtic to win two consecutive trebles before leaving the club to join Leicester in February 2019.

The Carnlough native left the Foxes by mutual consent following a poor run of results last season and is now a free agent. BoyleSports have installed him as the 6/4 favourite to replace Postecoglou after some early support from punters.

Manchester City assistant Enzo Maresca is second favourite in the betting at 2/1 ahead of former Brighton and Chelsea boss Graham Potter and Norwegian Kjetil Knutsen (both 7/1).

There are two other former Celtic managers in the betting, including Martin O’Neill and Neil Lennon who are both 25/1, while former fan favourites Henrik Larsson (33/1) and Roy Keane (40/1) are among the outsiders.

Lawrence Lyons, spokesperson for BoyleSports said: “There are big shoes to fill at Celtic as Ange Postecoglou packs his bags, but Brendan Rodgers has previous there and punters clearly see him as the perfect fit.”

Meanwhile, Postecoglou is 10/3 with Paddy Power to leave Spurs before Christmas, while the 57-year-old is 4/6 to still be Tottenham manager for the final game of the season 2023/24.
