Former Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho says Brendan Rodgers should’ve stayed with Celtic for the season.

Rodgers was off to a losing start in his first game as Leicester City boss on Sunday, sliding to a 2-1 defeat at Watford thanks to Andre Grey’s late goal.

“Celtic is a giant club,” said Mourinho. “But the Premier League is the Premier League so I’m not surprised that he comes.

“But if I was in his position now I would say to Leicester ‘I want to come to you, but not now.’

“I want to come next season, I want to be a champion in Scotland. I want to leave at the right moment and in my opinion, the right moment would be pre-season.”
