Brendan Rodgers Joins Saudi Club Al Qadsiah
- Al Qadsiah announced on Tuesday that Brendan Rodgers, former Celtic manager, was confirmed as head coach on December 16, 2025, seven weeks after leaving Celtic.
- Seen as a high-calibre coach, Brendan Rodgers is regarded as one of Europe’s top coaches with a modern, possession-based style, and Al Qadsiah said his calibre reflects its ambition in Asia.
- Joining Rodgers are longtime assistants John Kennedy and Jack Lyons, who worked with him at Celtic, plus first-team coaches Alvaro Gomez Rey and Antolin Martín and set-piece specialist Elliott Tyebo.
- Al-Qadsiah, sitting fifth in the league, parted company with previous boss Michel on Sunday, and officials hailed Brendan Rodgers' appointment as `a landmark moment` after a rigorous global recruitment process.
- Rodgers resigned from Celtic Football Club in October, ending his second spell amid strained relations and criticism from major shareholder Dermot Desmond, making him available for Al-Qadsiah.
