Gary Lineker’s Warning to Leicester City Fans About Brendan Rodgers Comes True
A warning issued by Gary Lineker to Leicester City fans about Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has come true, as the Foxes confirmed their relegation from the English Premier League. Lineker’s comments were made in January when Celtic were enjoying success in the Champions League, and Rodgers’ team secured a knockout tie against Bayern Munich.
“A brilliant result for Brendan Rodgers and a reminder to all those Leicester fans that wanted to get him out,” Lineker said. “We had a top-class manager then. Be careful what you wish for.”
It seems that Lineker’s words have come back to haunt Leicester City, as they face a new season in the Championship. Meanwhile, Rodgers is looking forward to another Scottish Cup final and more success at Celtic.
Rodgers’ record at both Celtic and Leicester City is impressive, with the manager winning silverware in England and Scotland. At Celtic, Rodgers has enjoyed success in the Scottish Premiership, and his current stint at the club has seen him win several trophies.
The contrast between Rodgers’ success at Celtic and Leicester City’s relegation is stark. While Rodgers has been enjoying success in Scotland, his former club is facing a new challenge in the Championship.
As Leicester City looks to the future, they will undoubtedly be reflecting on their time in the Premier League and the circumstances that led to their relegation. The warning issued by Lineker has proven prophetic, and it will be interesting to see how the Foxes respond to this new challenge.
In the meantime, Rodgers will continue to lead Celtic in their pursuit of more silverware. With his track record of success, it’s likely that the Hoops will be a force to be reckoned with in Scottish football for the foreseeable future.
