Brendan Rodgers has stepped down as manager of Celtic Football Club, the organization confirmed on Tuesday. The club stated on their official website that Rodgers' resignation has been accepted, and the search for his permanent successor is currently underway. Updates will be provided in due course as the process unfolds.
In the meantime, Celtic's former manager Martin O'Neill and former player Shaun Maloney will take charge of first-team duties. Rodgers' departure follows closely on the heels of Celtic's 3-1 defeat to Hearts in the Scottish Premiership, which saw the team fall eight points behind their Edinburgh rivals.
During his second tenure at Celtic, Rodgers led the team to consecutive league victories in 2024 and 2025, in addition to winning the Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup. Nonetheless, this season has been marred by challenges, including an early Champions League exit against Kairat Almaty and concerns over summer recruitment strategies.
