Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy is desperate to appoint Brendan Rodgers as Jose Mourinho’s successor, according to 90min.
It has been reported that despite the Leicester City boss publicly distancing himself from the Tottenham managerial role, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy remains keen on him.
Spurs are still ‘infatuated with Rodgers’, according to the report, which has added that Levy is ready to make the former Liverpool and Celtic boss the second-highest paid manager in the Premier League after Manchester City chief Pep Guardiola.
Rodgers is one of the best managers around, and his record is absolutely superb.
The 48-year-old almost guided Liverpool to the Premier League title before winning the Scottish Premiership title and the Scottish Cup twice each and the Scottish League Cup on three occasions with Celtic.
Leicester nearly finished in the Premier League top four last season and could end up in the Champions League places this time around.
Tottenham are a massive club, and they themselves could finish in the Premier League top four this season.
Rodgers is a brilliant manager who would be able to get the best out of the current Spurs players.
There is no surprise that Levy is reportedly so keen on the Leicester boss that he is willing to pay him a lot of money.
