Michael Stewart reckons there’s NO chance Brendan Rodgers<\/a> will be Celtic manager next season.<\/p>\n

Rodgers is in the final year of his second stint in charge and has yet to be offered a new deal by the Parkhead hierarchy.<\/p>\n

The Irishman is enduring arguably the toughest period of his Hoops tenure with the club severely underperforming domestically and in Europe.<\/p>\n

A shambolic transfer window compounded by a humiliating Champions League<\/a> exit to Kazakh minnows has Celtic<\/a> diehards warring with an under-fire board.<\/p>\n

But Rodgers is now feeling the heat with domestic and European results leaving a lot to be desired and Celts now five points behind table-topping Hearts.<\/a><\/p>\n

Despite the disharmony at Parkhead, Rodgers openly admitted last month that he’d be keen to extend his stay at Celtic on certain conditions.<\/p>\n

But pundit Stewart believes the third most successful manager in the club’s history is destined for pastures new come the end of the campaign.<\/p>\n

He told the Scottish Football Social Club show: “At the start of the season and the way things were, I genuinely thought that had things worked out well, I think he’d have been open to staying.<\/p>\n

“But the way things have panned out, I don’t think there’s any chance.<\/p>\n

“I do think that the way he is at the moment, the way the club are being run and the way he’s now understandably underwhelmed with it all, I think it’s a very, very dangerous situation for Celtic to be in.<\/p>\n

“You’ve got all of this campaign where it just feels like they are treading water a little bit.<\/p>\n

“There’s no real dynamism and that’s dangerous.”<\/p>\n

Asked about his future last month, Rodgers said: \u201cIt hasn\u2019t really changed from the last time. I would love to stay here longer, I\u2019ve had informal chats with Dermot (Desmond) and Michael (Nicholson) but no offer to consider.”<\/p>\n

Pressed on whether he’d be willing to commit to a new contract, he said: \u201c100 per cent. I guaranteed I would do three years, and if going forward if I do get offered a deal, there does have to be conditions in that, that allow me to work the best I can.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Hoops boss is in the final year of his contract and has yet to be offered an…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":319565,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[34431,7754,24469,7756,151888,221,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-319564","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-brendan-rodgers","9":"tag-celtic-fc","10":"tag-michael-stewart","11":"tag-scottish-premiership","12":"tag-scottish-professional-football-league","13":"tag-soccer","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115408715717410876","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/319564","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=319564"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/319564\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/319565"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=319564"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=319564"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=319564"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
