On The Bondi Podcast, the keeper said: "Then I just wanted to have a chat with the manager and say, 'Hey, what are you thinking?
"And he was like, 'Yeah, you're not really for me'."
Despite Rodgers' clear message, Siegrist remained at Celtic for another season, making two competitive appearances.
He then moved on to FC Rapid of Romania under Neil Lennon last summer.
Currently, on loan at Genoa from Rapid, Siegrist played twice in the Serie A last season.
