(Reuters) - New Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has brushed aside suggestions that he moved to a "mediocre club" after leaving Scottish champions Celtic to return to the Premier League.

Rodgers, who won the domestic treble twice in Scotland, was appointed Leicester's new boss on Tuesday after Claude Puel's sacking and signed a deal to June 2022.
