LONDON, Feb. 26 -- Former Celtic and Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has been appointed Leicester City's new manager, the English Premier League side announced on Tuesday.
The Northern Irishman, who won permission from Celtic last week to speak to Leicester City about their vacant manager's job, has agreed a contact until June 2022 and and succeeds Claude Puel, who was sacked on Sunday after 16 months in charge.
"I'll give my life to make the supporters proud of their club," Rodgers said.
Rodgers, who also managed Watford, Reading and Swansea City, won seven major trophies in the spell of just two-and-a-half seasons at Celtic Park.
"It feels great, it's obviously come very quickly and obviously, of course, over the last few days, but I know I'm joining a fantastic club that has grown so quickly over these last few years," Rodgers said.
The 46-year-old said he had not been in a "hurry" to leave Celtic, which he described as "a huge club worldwide, a renowned club, and I loved working with the players there."
"We were on a journey of great success over these last years but when the opportunity came to talk to Leicester and I was able to analyze it, it allowed me to think that I'd probably achieved and taken the club maybe at Celtic as far as I could at this moment.
"It's a young squad, a very dynamic squad, it's got huge potential and you've got some of the players with good experience also. There were a number of factors in being here and, like I say, I'm absolutely delighted," Rodgers commented.
Former Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and Celtic defender Kolo Toure will be Rodgers' first-team coach. The man from Cote d'Ivoire worked as a member of Rodgers' backroom staff at Celtic.
