Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers insists he will be heavily involved in appointing a new head of recruitment after Eduardo Macia’s exit.
The former Fiorentina scout will leave the King Power Stadium on Friday, ending his two-and-a-half year spell at the Foxes.
Celtic’s head of recruitment Lee Congerton has already been linked with a reunion with Rodgers, although the former Hoops boss has remained coy. But he confirmed he will take part in finding the replacement for Macia.
He said: “I’m sure they’ll be a number of candidates. I will be involved. It will be a club appointment but it is important the manager is involved.
“When I first came in, this was something that I was made aware. It was something that was pre-Christmas, that Eduardo was going to move on.
“He wants a fresh challenge but is a really good guy, the club will go through the process of finding a replacement.”
