Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers almost joined Europa League rival Roberto Mancini at Manchester City in 2009.

And he revealed he was close to joining the Italian's backroom team before taking the manager's job at Swansea City.

"I was in talks with Manchester City about maybe going back there as a first-team coach," said Rodgers...
"I spoke to the club, all went well and I flew out to Milan to meet Roberto.

"We had a nice chat and it ended up that not long after that I got the job at Swansea as a manager."
 
He was indeed. Mancini wanted him as his assistant I think. Remember this at the time.
 
Might not be a popular opinion but I actually rate him as a coach and as a manager. Complete weirdo tho
