Alongside a self-deprecating “boring” declaration, Brendan Rodgers responds to Jose Mourinho’s Celtic namecheck.

Brendan Rodgers responds to Jose Mourinho’s Celtic namecheck in the context of a self-deprecating “boring” admission. For those who have been living under a rock this week, Jose Mourinho has been the subject of news.

The superintendent of Fenerbahce’s box office has expressed his thoughts on the Europa League’s last 16 matchup against Rangers both before and after the game. Rangers’ final opportunity to secure a significant trophy this season was preserved with a 3-1 victory over Fenerbahce in the first leg on Thursday evening.

However, Celtic supporters were more intrigued by Mourinho’s remarks at his press conference in Istanbul on Wednesday, prior to the match. A Scottish correspondent enquired of the former Chelsea and Real Madrid manager whether he envisions himself one day managing either Celtic or Rangers.

Rodgers responds to Mourinho’s comments regarding Celtic. Rodgers has now addressed Mourinho’s statements from Wednesday, which were made in anticipation of Celtic’s Scottish Cup match against Hibs on Sunday.

The Northern Irishman was in a light-hearted mood and believes that the Scottish press would prefer to listen to Mourinho rather than his “boring” self on a weekly basis. Rodgers responded with a smile when asked if

he could envision his former colleague and rival Mourinho managing Scottish football in the future: “Well, I’ve heard he’s taken my job!” “Yes, he is a wonderful individual; you would adore him up here; he would provide you with a plethora of headlines, as opposed to the boring Irishman who is currently seated.” However, he is a top manager and an excellent value, Jose.

Rodgers was not deceived when asked whether he would introduce tranquilly to the game in Scotland. He replied, “Listen, I will not provide you with any headlines!” I believe you are aware of the solutions. Additionally, my enthusiasm for athletics is paramount. I do not see the logic in participating in competitions where the passion is lacking and playing in deserted stadiums.

“Celtic and Rangers are significant clubs, with significant fan bases, emotions, responsibilities, and expectations.” Why not? “However, I am currently employed.” Brendan (Rodgers) is an exceptional coach at Celtic. I am not currently in search of a new position, as the Rangers currently possess Ferguson. Therefore, I have the utmost respect for them.
