Brendan Rodgers signs new contract at Leicester | OneFootball

Leicester have confirmed that Brendan Rodgers has signed a new deal with the club, keeping him in the east Midlands until 2025.

Rodgers has been heavily linked with the Arsenal job over the past week having performed miracles at the King Power Stadium this term.

Leicester are currently second in the Premier League and are on their longest winning-run in the top flight since 1962.

The Northern Irishman’s original deal was until 2022, but the club have officially confirmed that Rodgers has now penned an extension for a further three years.

Rodgers said in a statement: “When I made the decision to come to Leicester City, it was because I was excited about the direction the Club was taking and how I could apply my experience to the journey. I came here with a purpose to add something to that and to help the Club build for the future.

“The support I have had from the Chairman, Khun Top; from the Chief Executive, Susan Whelan; from the Director of Football, Jon Rudkin; and from everyone at the Club has been amazing. I’ve inherited an outstanding team of staff that are dedicated to progress and improvement and we have a group of players that are a joy to work with every day.

“And to the Club’s supporters, I can only say thank you for welcoming me and my staff into your Club and for putting your faith in our work. We’ll continue to work together to bring success to Leicester City for many years to come.”
