"When we brought Brendan back to Celtic two years ago, it was done with complete trust and belief in his ability to lead the club into a new era of sustained success. Unfortunately, his conduct and communication in recent months have not reflected that trust."
""Yet in subsequent press conferences, Brendan implied that the club had made no commitment to offer him a contract," he added. "That was simply untrue.""
"Celtic announced Rodgers had "tendered his resignation" and left with "our thanks for the role he has played during a period of continued success"."
Brendan Rodgers resigned as Celtic manager following a turbulent period marked by consecutive league defeats and growing fan frustration. Celtic lost to Hearts and sat eight points behind the leaders. Fans protested the club's transfer approach after a Champions League play-off defeat by Kairat Almaty. The board accepted responsibility for European failure and acknowledged delayed attacking reinforcements despite Rodgers' calls for signings. Chairman Dermot Desmond publicly criticised Rodgers as misleading, divisive and self-serving and said Rodgers' conduct and communication did not reflect the trust placed in him.
