Former Liverpool and Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed that the soon-to-be vacant managerial post at Celtic would be a great opportunity for any manager to take the reins of a huge club.

Rodgers is currently fourth favourite among some bookmakers for the role at Celtic Park with many reports suggesting he is be one of the names on the shortlist drawn up by chief executive Peter Lawwell and majority shareholder Dermot Desmond. He told Sky Sports (via the Daily Record):

"Obviously the league isn't so competitive but Celtic are one of the great iconic clubs in the world, a huge club. I think Ronny has done a great job there, it looks like they will go on and win the title so that is two titles in a row. So I'll be sad to see him go but there is an opportunity for somebody there to go to a great club."

When asked specifically about his own ambitions and his interest in the Celtic job, the 43 year old was coy stating that he was keeping his options open and he has received no concrete offers:

"At this moment of time I'm just enjoying my time off and I'll wait and see what offers come in and, at this moment, there is nothing concrete. I'm just really enjoying the rest. I have had no concrete offers but certainly in the summer I want to get back to work again."

Rodgers has been out of work since being sacked by Liverpool in October after a draw in the Merseyside Derby against Everton.

Speculation has increased in recent weeks that he will return to his former club Swansea, replacing Francesco Guidolin, who isn't expected to continue as manager at the Welsh club next season.
