Brendan Rodgers has once again been linked with a move from Celtic to Leicester.
Michael Stewart and Steven Thompson have given their opinions on BBC Sportscene on Brendan Rodgers’ future at Celtic, after the Northern Irish manager was linked with a move to Leicester City.
The Foxes suffered a dismal 4-1 defeat at home to Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon, with a win inspired by Wilfried Zaha. French manager Claude Puel was sacked after the match.
Rodgers has since been linked with the vacant job at the King Power Stadium by the Guardian, who describe the former Liverpool and Swansea City manager as Leicester’s top target.
It remains to be seen if Rodgers will leave Celtic for Leicester, despite continuing in the hunt for a third successive treble at Parkhead. His contract is set to expire in the summer of 2021 – the earliest Celtic could win 10 in a row.
Stewart: “It’s tough to say. Ultimately it is down to him if he wants another job. Ever since he joined Celtic, he’s been away after the first season, away after the second season, it would have to be a good job. Is Leicester the right job? I’m not sure.”
Thompson: “It’s a a great club and if there is serious interest, he should take it under consideration because he wants to work at the top – the Premier League. But he has done a fantastic job at Celtic, maybe he wants to see it through.”
Rodgers watched on as his Celtic side made it nine wins from 11 league and cup matches since the turn of the year, with the other two results coming in the form of Europa League defeats to Valencia.
Leicester have lost six of their last seven matches, including defeats to Newport County in the FA Cup and Southampton at home. They sit in 12th place with only 32 points from 27 league games.
