Oh Hyun-gyu (22), who plays for Scottish club Celtic, will start accompanying new manager Brendan Rodgers (50).
Celtic announced on its website on Sept. 19 (local time), “We have appointed manager Rodgers. The contract is for a period of three years.” The appointment fills the vacancy left by Enzi Postecoglou, who left for Tottenham after winning the ‘treble’ in the 2022-2023 season.
Prior to managing Leicester City, Rodgers was in charge of Celtic from 2016-2019. During that time, Celtic won the league, FA Cup, and League Cup triple in both the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 seasons.
They also went 69 games unbeaten. Celtic and Rodgers went 585 days without a defeat from May 11, 2016 against St. Johnstone to December 18, 2017 against Heart of Midlothian.안전놀이터
Rodgers took over at Leicester City in 2019 and led the club to fifth place in both the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 seasons. The 2020-2021 season saw the club win the FA Cup for the first time in its history.
However, the 2022-2023 season went poorly, and he was relieved of his duties in April amid a relegation battle. Leicester City eventually finished 18th and were relegated to the second tier.
Postecoglou, who handpicked Oh Hyun-kyu from Suwon Samsung in the K League 1, was named Tottenham manager earlier this month. Following Postecoglou’s appointment, Spurs are preparing for the 2023-2024 season with the full signing of Dejan Kulusevski (Sweden).
