Brendan Rodgers has revealed he has been shunned by some family members since leaving Celtic last season. The former Hoops boss left Parkhead for Leicester City following a hugely successful spell in February of last year, but many were left fuming over the move. Rodgers said: ‘‘I had family who were just distraught I left Celtic, just couldn’t believe it. Some relations haven’t spoken to me since the day I left Glasgow. If you carry on like that too much, you will never do anything. I had some unforgettable memories at Celtic that will live with me for a lifetime, that I still think about now and I then came into my next experience with Leicester. I left school with nothing. No qualifications, nothing. My life has been based on experiences, hence the reason why I look for the experiences. And moving to Leicester, I felt from a sporting perspective, was going to be the next good experience. Ultimately you have to be unsentimental in football life because this is a business. When you have to make decisions, you have to be unsentimental.”
