Brendan Rodgers Rules Out Nottingham Forest Switch
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers confirms his commitment to the team, dismissing rumors of a potential switch to Nottingham Forest.
“Absolutely no chance...”
Brendan Rodgers has dismissed rumors of him leaving Celtic for Nottingham Forest, stating there's “no chance” he'll depart from Parkhead. Rodgers is committed to Celtic, despite having less than a year left on his contract and being linked to Nuno Espirito Santo's potential job opening at Forest. The Forest position has become available due to uncertainty surrounding Santo's future after a reported falling out with owner Evangelos Marinakis.

Rodgers' determination to stay at Celtic comes as no surprise, given his ambitions to take the team to the next level in the Champions League. According to sources, Rodgers wants to be as ambitious as possible with the board's support. While he's content at Celtic, top-tier clubs are reportedly keeping tabs on his situation, and Premier League interest could potentially sway him if his desires aren't met.
Celtic's Plans:
Transfer Window: Rodgers expects to strengthen his squad this summer to make Celtic competitive in Europe.
Board Support: He's looking for financial backing from the board to achieve his ambitions.
Squad Development: Celtic are interested in signing new players, such as Augsburg midfielder Elvis Rexhbecaj and Brighton star Evan Ferguson.
Asked if he could walk out on Celtic after a tough start to the season, Rodgers flatly denied the possibility, emphasizing his commitment to the team.
“Absolutely no chance,” said Rodgers. “No chance. We've done that one before. It didn't go down well!
“Listen, I said from the first day and there's no hidden messages and there's no this and that. I said I'd be here three years. I'm here for three years.”
