Celtic have confirmed that the current coaching staff will be staying at the club, following the reappointment of Brendan Rodgers.

In a statement on their website, the club confirmed that John Kennedy would be remaining at the club, along with Gavin Strachan, Stevie Woods, and Harry Kewell. Stephen McManus and Darren O'Dea will also be continuing in charge of the B team.

The statement said: "We are also pleased to confirm that John Kennedy, who has served the club over many years in a playing and coaching capacity, will support Brendan as the club’s Assistant Manager, along with first-team coaches Stevie Woods, Gavin Strachan and Harry Kewell, and B Team coaches Stephen McManus and Darren O’Dea."

Kennedy and Strachan were linked to coaching roles down south at Tottenham Hotspur, following Ange Postecoglou's appointment at the North London club. However, it looks like they will be staying put to assist Rodgers in his second stint at the club.

Rodgers makes his return to the club after four years away, mainly spent down south at Leicester, where he won the FA Cup and the Community Shield in his time there. Back to back fifth place finishes were some of the high points in his tenure, but a downturn in form led to his dismissal in April this year.

He won seven out of seven trophies during his first spell at the club, winning three League Cups, two Scottish Premierships and two Scottish Cups in his two ad a half years in charge of the side.
